The Poet

 tripping over
 three-legged words,
 clumsily fighting with
 left-handed rhyme,
 arm wrestling with
 awkward meter,
 the poet
 reaches into
 his wallet
 and pulls out
 his poetic license
 and writes

  1. Love the play on words in this, especially
    'the poet
    reaches into
    his wallet
    and pulls out
    his poetic license
    and writes'
    Clever, perfect, and oh, so true!

  5. This is great! Your words create that pull between mind and intuition and what we go through to get in that zone to write! Loved this! Cindy
