Poem

I Don’t Want to Weigh In*

*As in putting my kill on the scale, to be counted.

I thought it was tanagers until I met them.
Then they ate the figs from our yard, all at once.
We were going to serve them at our wedding.
I want to surprise you like that, just once.

Can I Watch You Write a Poem?

Can I watch you write a poem?
Can I take a video with my phone to prove it?
Can I post it [on my blog] in the morning?

Can I know what word you’re going to write before you write it?
Can you tell me the word and I’ll write it down?
Can you give me a title, and I’ll read you the poem from memory?

Can you ask me the next question?
Can you ask me all my favorite questions
and write down all my answers? And sell it?

Status Update

I’m Back

I have decided to post poems again, for fun. Don’t hold me to it. ;)
