MOMENT OF CONCEPTION (saluting National Poetry Month)







Trapped in an unrelenting
avalanche of words,
conjuring the vision
that has made him blind,
the poet speaks volumes
without moving his lips.

An act of procreation
without touching,
but somehow you've been
touched just the same--

Aware, as you muse through
your morning walk,
and later,
rappel down the mountain of
papers on your desk,
that the words have seeped
into your being...
the seminal fluid
implanting its seed of truth.

  4. __Read, or never seen, the importance of that which is written is the joy of writing. Words, those banners of thought that... unfurl on your page.

    Thanks for the remarks, crew. I hope you're all "pregnant" with poetry this month!
