What if?

Posted Jul 1, 2020 · 16 lines · 4 critiques

what if my poem was a child
a small child that had to lead its own life
drive its own car, negotiate this world

what if my poem was responsible
for folding its own laundry could
offer its own opinions and
could pipe up when there was a
need for concern

what if my poem
discovered the layers of an onion
with a sense of awestruck nativity recklessly disregarding
the moment in which a thought
was born

what if my poem dusted off the pages
containing promise for tomorrow
and offered it to us today

"to think about for sure. I hope that I get where this is going. I guess you are referring to the adage that a poet's works are like their children. We raise the idea, nurture it and send it off to do its' thing in the w…"

on the muse from @Geezer
"I have ever thought of a muse as delivering an empty platter to be filled; but it is a great way to describe what happens. I must have a half a dozen or so different muses. Or maybe he, she, it, is a multiple personalit…"

About me

hm. i've been drawing, painting, writing and photographing like forever. i got my bfa from colorado state and have two amazing kiddos...one in college and one college-bound. I'm a creativity coach and am working on trying to pull my poetry together for a book, having had a piece published here in San Diego. I'm excited to connect with other poets and hopefully gain some momentum in these crazy times!
