Poems are just flower seeds
that need some sun
and a few drops of water
to grow.
We weep rivers of emotion through our ballpoint pens
and over-fertilize the soil with big words and dramatic sighs
but all we need
is a little patience
and simplicity.
//
dump your words,
it can make you feel better
but sometimes it pays to be frank.
My dear, you're a touchy soul
a sensitive rose with thorns
but you bring gardens with your poems
a living light upon the Earth
changing everything writers have ever known.
