i was captivated
by a man
i met
on the bridge to hindsight
who shared
tales of woe
cautioning
that return visits
should be outlawed
due to negative
reverberations
of wallowing
in regret
and self-pity
stressing
most vehemently
that a one way
round trip
is more than enough
for anyone
i couldn’t agree more

Write me a poem. Write me several poems. A muse me.— N’Zuri Za Austin
If you look a dog in the eye too intensely, it may recite an astounding poem to you. ~ Jean Genet
A dog, I have always said, is prose; a cat is a poem. — Jean Burden

To elevate the soul, poetry is necessary.
~Edgar Allan Poe
Poetry is breathing words that give a reader pause. ~Ankita Singhal
All great poetry is dipped in the dyes of the heart. ~Edith Sitwell
Real poetry, is to lead a beautiful life. To live poetry is better than to write it. — Matsuo Bashō
a pile of small poems ~ haiku • senryu • gogyoshi • cinquain • and free verse
