Folder: 
JOURNAL # 38

poetry is love
coiffured
and
love is poetry
without artifice

just words
filtered
through the brain

the loving depths

of an empty pond
a true poet is a
winding river
full of depth, beauty

have no place in poetry
but then again
nor do the prior mentioned
empty ponds
for this poet
to be poetically articulate
is
'To Poeticate'...................
