To Live Poetry

See

Colors of blue, purple, green

And colors in between

Cerulean, Magenta, Seafoam

orange flower bursts

jeweled drops

on spider webs

 

To taste

Sweet creaminess of icecream

Spicy salsa chili

Contrast them

on my tongue

 

Hear

Drumbeats that start from

My heart and radiate

To my fingertips

Lilting music of your poetry

 

Touch

The pointiness of grass

Grooves in newly carved wood

A lover’s lips

On mine

 

Smell

Delicate flowers

New babies

The fragrance

Of ones I love.

 

These are just a few

Ways I’ve lived

Poetry this week.
