It starts with a word

A whisper from the soul

Threads phrases into lines

That sometimes rhyme

Dreams and reality converge

On the page, poet’s canvas

For word play. Designing

Immortality’s stage

Fulfill stardust destiny

Of spreading art from

Sea to sea. Can’t stop

Words keep coming to me

Giving new eyes

From which to see

This lens pushes

My pen

Looking around

Haikus, tankas, odes

And verse all waiting

To be found

Transcribing the ordinary

To images and sound

Understanding simplicity

Is profound

Studying the greats

Neruda, Storni, y Marti

Their verses hold the

Key of poetic divinity

Reading, writing, reciting

Writing, reciting, reading

Reciting, reading, writing

Blissful insanity

And so line by line

I’m going to take this

World, and make it

mine
