Realm of a poem A poem is born through
poets, not from them; Emotions nursed in
propriety, in the worlds Now lie in the hearse
of words; Totally cut without
possession…ugh…c’est complètement parti mes amis! C’est fini, alors c’est
fini, This mayhem!
Readers take over now,
Criticize; analyze,
love, slaughter left and right, The
poet drops the pride and the vow, Joins
as a reader in the ugly pretty fight!
Wrong is heavy and loose
Let’s delve in the
write so high and light, Whatever be the choice
we have nothing to lose, Threw up everything on
the page toute à l’heure in delight! Let’s love the poets,
who think otherwise, For they, like us are
also right, We transgress as
readers, wise, unwise, Without prosecuting visitors; For us – as part of
them, There aren’t any trespassers, In the realm of a poem!
An invitation Look into the palm. On the near rooftop, Hard as rock soft as
arouse crop, Wheels not needed for
willing wings, Climb aboard to fly
and smile! Readers so dear the
paw marries, No intent, no motive,
no hidden malice, Stable unfailing the hand
to wed, No fears or fights no
dodge or trade!
Look into the palm.
Steady to the clear sky, Nests inside seldom
fake or lie, With light and air and
water abound, Mount a little above
the ground! Readers to breed an
open delight, No caprice, no
margins, no stunning fright, Strong as rock and tender
as erect crop, It goes so smooth, it
stays and sings!
