3 Poems

1. What is poetry?
Poetry is thoughts
strung together by words
Imagine flying high in the sky
A swirl of colors
The rhyme and rhythm of
future and past
to make today.


2. What happens to a dream deferred?
The angry waves of despair
sweep it away into the sea of forgotten
It sits there forever
last in line for your thoughts
Drowning in that sea next to nowhere
and no one

It will float in the sky
and never come back
And you won't even know it.


3. Edgar Degas (told by himself)
The tiny little dancer
In her pointed shoes and dress
Looks up to meet my eyes
In a moment of distress

I wonder what she'd think of me
With painted eyes so wide
She'll come and ask me who I am
I'll reluctantly confide.
