Poems not published are as dead
Though words remain in poet's head
Some thoughts on how and why
Here one or two recent ones
22apr19
The Hummingbird
Just inches from my eyes
A hummingbird arrives
Never seen so, so surprised
Attracted by the bright red straw
Perhaps to wish farewell
I've planned to move
And move I will
Just now the breeze and shade
Hold me here a moment more

Drawing
When drawing long ago
I used to use a pencil
Now writing poems
I carry only pen
If I can draw as well with pen
Then draw by pen I will
Perhaps per pen ink can say more
Than words upon a page
I'll try my hand again
Again and then again no doubt
The promise needs some skill
And I have eyes that age
And time too long
Between drawings
The pen is mightier than the sword
For me for drawing weaker
But pen and ink are as found
The artist more than both
When expression matches mind
got a call back from the realtor

That's all, the rest are tossed, drawing included, essays in the craft. I just got a call from the realtor and I'm tired from packing and giving away things I'll need if I stay. More than hummingbirds in the air right now.
