"the birth of a poem"
(written: 5/12/2002)

A river of tears
becomes alphabet soup
as words pour forth
from my soul.
Splattering onto paper
a poem slowly forms
piece by piece
it grows from
my fountain pen.
A poem is a window
that reveals the poet
in the most intimate ways
heart, soul, and mind.
Wondering if the poem
is good enough means
you wonder if you
are good enough.
Heartaches, joys, and
the whole rainbow
of feelings shapes
the birth of a poem.
