My husband says I am his convenience store poet...not a derogatory term really. He likes my poetry because it is usually short and he says he gets his quick fix that way...in and out in a jiff and time to contemplate a little afterwards.
I don't think I really consider myself a poet. I feel like I'm just a dabbler compared to so many others that I read, but then again, don't "they" say that you shouldn't compare yourself to others? Who is "they" anyway? I picture a tall futuristic and reflective building in a huge city somewhere with Large Black Letters that say, "THEY."
I picture "they" in a similar way, and usually with beady little eyes.
ReplyDeletePoetry doesn't have to be lengthy to be good. What comes after peaches? (I know MI is a hotbed of fresh produce, so there must be something else coming right along. I love the smell of the grapes when they are ripe on the vine and ready to be picked.)
You write very well.
