Poetry is everywhere. We can make poetry of things that are already there. We can take what we have, and just rearrange it to make it poetic. Just know that the circumstances of your life are poetic, you just need to arrange them in such a way.
If anyone can do this, I’ll just cry with astonishment and pride! See if you can rearrange one of MY poems…
A DIAMOND OR A BOAT
a diamond or boat
that was the question
to entertain the argument
was never my intention
the diamond it seems
has remarkable glare
though maybe more glam
than its miner’s fared
but what of a yacht
with motors abuzz
a thousand photographs
and chasing the sun
well if the ice caps melt
as they say when it gets hotter
then who needs land, hands down
the earth is mostly water!
so if ever prompted proudly pronounce
between the diamond or boat
the rays of god, through gems may bounce
but i’ve never seen a diamond float
