Poetry is trying to find
a thousand words without a camera,
to compose an image, more, to capture
the message of a chance alignment
will serve you better than your cell phone’s
snapshot “can you hear me now?”
Poetry is taking the time,
waiting for lighting, adjusting the speed
and exposure. I, on a rainy day,
once found the perfect picture
when sunshine filtered through rolling gray
to give the raindrops their color. Now
and then looking for reason
you discover the art of a thousand words.
