A Good Poem
September 28, 2013 Leave a comment
A good poem is like a cold beer when you need it,
A good poem is a hot turkey sandwich when you’re hungry,
A good poem is a gun when the mob corners you,
A good poem is something that allows you to walk through the streets of death,
A good poem can make death melt like hot butter,
A good poem can frame agony and hang it on a wall,
A good poem can let your feet touch China,
A good poem can make a broken mind fly,
A good poem can let you shake hands with Mozart,
A good poem can let you shoot craps with the devil and win,
A good poem can do almost anything, and most important a good poem knows when to stop.
