I like the quick snap of sharp poetry
And the way it comes, unstoppable,
Like a rushed intake of breath
A mad courtship of longing and will
Until by chance, almost, a birth --
Prosodies brought from heart to pen
To bounce and jostle in their metered gaits
And front a small rebellion on the page
Before settling into the circumstances --
Oh yes, there is quite a ruckus in my head when I am crafting a poem. Order! Order, I say! . . . Eh, It's a lost cause.
