Emily

Emily doesn't like poems that rhyme
which is good.
Because I have to write poems,
and only she reads them.
and magicing words
out of the air
is simpler when I don't have to stop
and... [air... bear? bare, fair.]

Why would I talk about those things?

I would rather write straight out of my fingertips
and off the top of my head
and then say, quietly,
"Emily, I wrote a poem.
It's not very good, but it doesn't rhyme".

  1. I love your poems
    I don't care if they rhyme.
    I'd read your poems
    Any old time.
