Did you know I once heard
In a poetry class
That a sign of a weak poem
Is when the writer asks?
Did you know that I heard
The teacher say
That a question has no place
In a poet’s wordplay?
So then I asked myself
Can you do this task?
Where the narrator does nothing
But question and ask?
Maybe I could end every line
With that lovely little mark?
What’s wrong with this symbol?
Am I correct in saying its not dirty or dark?
Dont you think that we owe
It a little respect?
A symbol of curiosity
Lovely Punctuation and not a defect?

The Intimacy of Objects

Iced Coffee 

Crumpets 

Tartlets 

Stew 

Your name spelled in foods 

That make me think of you. 

Raindrops 

Snowdrops 

Thunder 

Dew 

Your name spelled in weather 

That makes me think of you 

Lilacs 

Stardust 

A charm 

That’s blue 

Your name spelled in trinkets 

That make me think of you
