A poem I had actually forgotten about, but I find my poetry pretty darn forgettable.
A Poetry Lesson
Poetry
Is supposed to be moving,
Supposed to make you
Think feel speak react.
It should have figurative
Language. Sex is
“sacred, dirty promises.”
Wine is “scarlet ambrosia.”
Even horse shit can
Be important in its
Unimportance.
In poetry, love
Is passionate. Anger
Is palpable. Silence
Is petrifying.
Poetry
Is supposed to be good.
