I do not write poetry because Great dead men on my shelves have done it I must be busy with something that's mine. I do not write poetry because Birds by the millions fly north to their own preachers I must fly to my own east. I do not write poetry because The sun dances in the sky on a flower-filled day I must be there to watch it. I do not write poetry because Though the dogs in the yard Have not bathed for ages They ask for a hug and I must give it. I do not write poetry because The wounds of my past fester now and then I must be there to bind them. I do not write poetry because The father of my children is the best cook in the world I must be there to love him. I do not write poetry because The child wants boots to scale his own mountain I must be there to free him. I do not write poety at all-- because I live it.

I Do Not Write Poetry
I do not write poetry because Great dead men on my shelves have done it I must be busy with something that's mine.
