Awake, Alive

a poem about being in poetry

Awake in poetry Alive in words

I don’t do the obtuse I don’t do the thrown together salads

I might be too confessional I might be too folksy

I might be too informal I might not be recognized by the society of those who are in charge

But I am awake in poetry I am alive in words

I am constantly bombarded with lines with verse I am surrounded at times but rhymes

I am up at night in my mind With the best ideas the best concepts the most amazing stanzas

But I fail to write them down Oh well

Either way Hands to keys hands to pen words to page

I am awake in poetry I am alive in words
