Why Poetry?

(Practice with making each line six syllables…)

Sometimes my mind breaks
and I let all thinking
ooze out into sweet lyrics.

From my fragile dreams and fears,
I blow a crystal vial, where
inside, truth’s venom sleeps.

Until, well-lit and vulnerable,
I stand before Them All
and fling my crystal soul

to be smashed but re-Born
in the memories of all.
