"in the street of the sky
night walks scattering poems" - E E Cummings

in the street of the sky
the night walks scattering poems
that runs helter-skelter
in the streets of confusion

poems stand on their own
seizing on opportunities
whenever favors are sown
it strengthens on simplicity

set to shine in its creation
with finesse a factor to consider
readily appreciated for their talents
a poet is a known denominator

  1. Walking along the streets certainly many poems are created Hank.
    Well done on a great poem.

  2. This is fun, to think of the poems taking on lives of their own – as indeed we would hope – and running along the streets doing their own thing. (Like children ... then gradually maturing.)

  4. That can each bring forth something for all, different but never stall.

  5. Simplicity and finesse factors with the poet as a denominator will help in understanding. Wish I were there.

  6. Now, I can't stop thinking about gangs of poems... and I like the thought. I can only imagine what they would get up to.

  7. Yes, poems have a mind of their own and what it speaks is often so different in each one who hears it.
