words

I think in poems.
A life measured out
in stanzas.
Meted in
pentameter.

A coffee cup
becomes an ode.
A blade of grass:
a sonnet.
The drab world
painted in infinite hues,
with a blundering
fury of strokes.

but all the while,
as summer begins it's
bright ascent
and the Earth flips
and wobbles about,
I languish
over
words.

In true poet fashion I took a rather nice compliment from Edward and made it self depracating.
