The Making of Poetry
You can scrape your knee. 
 Your hand can brush theirs, only for a moment. 
 Every move you make is poetry. 
 Every time you blink your eyes.
 Every time you don’t understand. 
 You are creating poetry. 
 The crack of your softball bat, scoring a goal,
 making a basket,
 writing a poem. 
 Those evenings where it’s just you, 
 alone with your thoughts and the 
 summer sky, stained pink with sunset. 
 A thought, a wonder.
 Your heart can yearn for them. 
 And you write it out, dawning something beautiful-
 a poem.
