Technique of the Poets
Words
create
poetry
to read and share
with other people
who live around the world.
Goodhearted words have different
effects from words of sharp anger
or hate in patterns by the poets
who are skilled in smooth poetic techniques.

This poem was written in January for the Month of Poetry 2014 and shared on Kathryn Apel’s blog at katswhiskers.wordpress.com. I dedicate it now to poets everywhere.
Flaming Candles
So Long, farewell,
goodbye, my friends.
Remember!
Keep the
candles of poetry
flaming.
If by chance, they
smolder
do not be discouraged.
Bring them back
to brilliance
with words
only you can create.
