After 3 poetry books published this year
my poetry engine
died.
My friend Ted tells me to get my poetry engine started
by buying 4 or 5 kinds
of tasty liquor then sit down
and drink 6 to 12 drinks
until poetry
starts pouring out.
Sebrena says to have some exciting experiences
to see if I can start
my poetry engine.
She says she can suggest
some experiences
to get poems
flowing
once
again.
Mikey says
just sit for days
with pencil and paper
until the poetry
bleeds from
my veins.
Anybody anywhere
have other ways
to crank up
my poetry engine?
I need to keep my
poetry engine running.
I fear it will become
rusty and can’t be fixed.
