GROWING POEMS

by David Knape

A poet's inspiration is
where poems are usually grown
just a seed is all they need
to start a growing poem

Inspiration is the fertile field
where ideas come about
those that are routinely worked
will cause a seed to sprout

Once the poem has sprouted
to make sure weeds don't spring
it needs some cultivation
and loving nurturing

At last when poems have blossomed
their beauty is revealed
poems are grown in poet's minds
how bountiful the yield.
