Poetry & Me

Poetry and Me

I flirted with Poetry for many years,
with spurts of writing occurring
over the decades.
Poetry became a lover a few years ago.
We had many passionate encounters.

Thirteen months ago,
I asked Poetry to marry me.
She agreed.
I do my best to be an attentive spouse.
I meet her daily to let her move
through me,
around me,
with me.

I can’t imagine my life without her.
