A Poem is its Own Studio

 

Words lift themselves from the canvas of life

 

The iambs are open so that the light drifts in

On the artist’s favorite smiling verb

Posing on a dais draped with flowing dreams

Before a canvas of possibilities

 

Words lift themselves from the canvas of life

 

A splash of adverb might go here – or not

Maybe a subtle conjunction instead to join

The thesis and the antithesis

In a loving reconciliation

 

Embraced by silent interjections of love

Words lift themselves from the canvas of life
