This Poem is Your Work Too (at least the good parts...)

This Poem is Your Work Too

 

This poem is your work too; you are its hope

Every poem is for the reader who gives

The poem a mission in its words and lines

A safe place to land, as McKuen says

 

This poem is your work too; you are its voice

So, please, dream it, breathe it, build it, shape it

Into something you want or need or love

Arrange it in a vase of summer flowers

 

This poem is your work too, a gift of caritas

Think it by lamplight; play it in sunlight

 

After all, you are its reason for being

 

Thank you
