~The Poet’s Poet~
His
mind works best when connecting things
When
it is idle he is also idle
His
mind when in turmoil
Spews
out liquorice allsorts
His
mind thrives on different orders of experience
There
are days when his mind bears no resemblance
To
the prostituted language used to construct a poem
Some
may beg to differ
Which
is their prerogative
Staring
back at him once the flap of his bureaux is laid open
The
works of William Carlos Williams, Thomas
Hardy, Ogden Nash
D.J.
Enright
Collected Poems, In Natures Garden a
collection
To
mention but a few, of course there is
Joyce, Yeats and Kavanagh et al
His
mind works best when connecting things.

Attempting this 30 day 30 poem challenge for April Ivor I’m sure to spew out liquorice allsorts many more times before months end.
