3rd Annual Poetry Challenge, #11

Ahhh, where shall today's poetry experiment lead us? I think that's my favorite thing about doing this challenge - I never know from one moment to the next where I'm going to go with this stuff. It keeps it fresh for me, too. It's always an adventure, and it makes me appreciate the smaller moments in life. Often, simple things that I wouldn't notice become subjects - or at least objects- in a poem. Perhaps there's something to that: Poetry is written to be heard, to be said, to be experienced, to be lived.

Little Words

Sometimes I think
of a million little words
that I can put down
one
at a time
and make something
beautiful
happen,
as though I might be
counted among the Greats,
and teachers would put
meaning where there is little -
and then I read it.


Thanks for reading,
