Poetry's Horse Race

Poetry's Horse Race

Karyn Indursky

 

Trotting ideas graze across
banana paper. Hooves of words
cut into grassy marsh pits
where sentences lie. Pebbles crunch
beneath the weight of ramped
running emotions. Emotions collide
with obstacles of debate over
adjectives, participles, prepositions,
adverbs, conjunctions, articles, verbs,
syllables, adjectives, etc. Galloping
motivation and determination trudge
the rider onward until launched
by sheer inspiration hurdles are
overtaken. Writer's block erased.
