Verse
August 31, 2011
Sometimes poetry tries too hard;
Works too hard to make words sound
Light, easy, comfortable with the verse,
When really, its not always about easy.
The hard part is the best part
The troubled part is the best part
When it doesn’t quite flow right
And it sounds clunky,
Furniture dragging, heavy, across slanted floor
And it sounds thick,
Curdled whipping cream slopped in a ceramic bowl
And it sounds broken,
Fractured roof tile, sharp, on concrete.
