*Aug. 31, 2003.

I'm now learning the difference
between poetry better read
and that better spoken.
Obviously, one that plays with the eyes on paper
is better read,
the ones that ebb and flow
are better spoken.
Of course, there are also the ones
that are better sung.
To me, the trick is to find that carefully crafted poem
that fits nicely when read, spoken, and sung.
