I’m not a poet, but I enjoy poetry. And as I writer, I believe in challenging yourself. That said, here is my humble attempt at a poem. Enjoy.
I.
Put a few words in a row,
And-- what do you know!--
A sentence.
Line a few thoughts on a string
And maybe they'll sing
Of endurance.
String those thoughts over time.
Fast forward.
Rewind.
And perhaps you'll find
A dark, husky rind
Of thought so sublime,
It entrances.
