Poetry is trying to find
a thousand words without a camera,
to compose an image, more, to capture a
chance alignment; poetry
will serve you better than your cell phone’s
visual “can you hear me now?”
Poetry is taking the time,
waiting for lighting, adjusting the speed
and exposure. I, on a rainy day,
once found the perfect picture
when sunshine filtered through rolling gray
to give raindrops their color. Now
and then looking for reason
you discover the art of a thousand words.
