poems written on the fly

give it a try

In art, d. james, literature, overweight champions, poem, poetry, writing on 8 June 2009 at 7:14 pm

why
is the word
try
in poetry

is it because
it is
at times
a trying task

or because
we try
and try again
to write
a good one

perhaps
you should try
and let me know
what you find

(D. James)

  1. trying is trying to be
    being is not trying
    poetry is trying
    the ineffable
    yet being aware
    that you are trying
