Dr. Tony’s Poems, Part Four
5-6-16
Friday
May is Book Writing Month
What is a Poem?
It’s an opportunity to expand on a thought.
It allows us to go deeply into a topic,
Using a sparsity of words.
It’s a search for the truth within a thought.
It often takes us into unacquainted areas,
With unexpected results,
And formidable surprises.
It’s an opportunity to allow a thought to grow and blossom.
Often it takes us down a new path,
One that was unintended,
Just as this poem presently is doing.
The content that is unfolding,
To our wonder,
Was not intended.
It just appeared.
Where the remainder of this poem will take us,
Is still a mystery, but we’ll tag along,
Knowing we are moving into a new arena,
Full of new ideas,
Perhaps even wisdom.
But we are going to follow the thought that arises.
This poem did not come out of my memory.
It came out of some creative force within,
Whether mine or the universe’s.
But it didn’t just happen.
It evolved from what preceded,
The outcome is before us.
We may be pleased and surprised.
Dr. Tony
