a poem can be like a poorly
cabled sweater – so bad
it’s dismissed from gift-hood
not that I have knitted anything
though I hear if enough yarn
can be pulled back out
one can needle socks or a hat
like I have made poems
from pieces of poor ones
did you know a warm head
fires more neurons than a cold one
and releases additional brain
chemicals to their neighbors which
leads to clearer thinking and insights?
so the question is
do you prefer a poem
that makes you warm or
ignites your imagination?
if you want one that does both
you’ll probably have to wait
till after Christmas
