BREATHE.... IN....
BREATHE... OUT...

Use Your Nose And Mouth...
So That Your Body Can Move Around... !!!

I BREATHE Poetry...
Pretty Much EVERY DAY... !!!!!

And Find That It HELPS...
To Keep Me... SANE... !!!!!!

It Also HELPS To FEED My Brain...
Just Like OXYGEN....
EVERY TIME I.... “ Inhale “.... !!!!

I USED TO Breathe In Ways...
That ASTHMA Sufferers HATE... !!!

Sometimes With A Wheeze...
At DISCONCERTING Speeds... !!!

Because My Lungs...
Couldn’t Get ENOUGH...
of The Air I NEEDED...
To HELP ME BREATHE...
With The Type of Ease...
That ENABLES ME To Write Poetry...
At Rates That BEAT Like Usain’s Feet... !!!!!!

At A Comfortable Pace...
EVEN WHEN He Raced...
At The OLYMPIC Games... !!!

I BET He Breathed....
At RESPIRATORY RATES...
That Would.... AMAZE.... !!!!!

ESPECIALLY When He HIT The Tape... !!!!!!
When Making His Name By Running To FAME... !!!

While Most Just Breathe To Fuel Their Veins...
So CAPILLARIES Arrange Nutrients and Waste....
So That We Can... MAINTAIN...
And Take The STRAIN of Getting Through Days...

WITHOUT... TOO MUCH Pain... !!!

While Words I Breathe FULFIL My Need...
To Poetically Let My Thoughts Run FREE... !!!

So That I Can SHOW How... Mentally...
I Breathe THOUGHTFULLY And Philosophically...
Through Breaths That FEED And FUEL My Speech...

....... “ Mellifluously “....... !!!!!!!!

Because My Poetry Flows RHYTHMICALLY... !!!!!
Just Like The Seas That FEED Our Streams...
With WAVES of Thought That CREATIVELY Reach...

A Level of... Base Mentalities...

NOT Basic But INVASIVE.....
When It Comes To Words I SEEK....
To Speak On Things I’ve Seen.... !!!

And How My Life Has Been...
The Theme.... REALITY.... !!!!!!!!

Cos' I DON’T BELIEVE...
Or Breathe FALLACIES... !!!!!
Through HOW I Be...
Or... ARTISTICALLY... !!!!!

I Breathe A Life of CLARITY...
So That HAPPILY EVEN IF Asthmatically...
My Breathing TRIES To DAMAGE ME... !!!!

It PROVES To Me How Strong I’ve Been...
Because At 46.....
My Breathing STILL LIVES... !!!!!

And FUELS These Scripts...
I Choose To.... FLIP....

That UTILISE And OXIDISE....
My Mind To Find...
A WORLD OF RHYMES...
That Exercise Me MENTALLY... !!!

So That My Use of Poetry...

........ MAJESTICALLY........ !!!!!!!

Can Show The World How EASILY.....
My Poetry... SUCCESSFULLY...

Enables Me... “ Creatively “...
To... Use My Art To........

........  “ BREATHE “.......
