There are certain words
that sit heavily in our throats,
they’re sometimes hard to speak
we get all choked up.
The syllables keep piling up,
it’s tempting to just blindly read
focus on the string
and ignore their meaning.
Go ahead and just read the poetry,
let a group of sensitive words
fall silent in admiration.
Perhaps a soliloquy of love
come and count the stars
so we could walk barefoot in the mud
and have our super real sensations.
Quiet are the footfalls,
the neon lights,
that outline our steps
in this sacred geometry of love
where the angles
must make perfect sense.
Sell your ancient beliefs,
truths that only you can defend.
Time honored and unconditional,
all of us are here to celebrate words.
We do our due diligence
some must write a blog,
others share their opinions,
the poets are simply confused
writing their broken lyrics.
Our illiterate annotations
where one person said we should use
more and more exclamations!!!!
To each is own I guess,
to the words in poems
we rhyme and express
yesterday was national Haiku day.
~
The forever touch
when we read the poetry
adds layers to life.

Enjoy today for what it is
these words I wish to share
and whether it is a national day
I write so
you have something to read.
