Hardest to Write - March 9, 2023

a poem about perfect love

Is not that easy to write


one I shudder to do

when linking heavenly adjectives

to brilliantly sunny nouns


that cuts out the storm clouds

and wind any lightening

that would split that luscious

space into trembling halves


perhaps it’s better to leave

those unwritten let them follow

the sun or stick to the moon


keep going round and round

and pass above the landscape

the rest of us trudge


on our way to somewhere

just over the next mountain


which becomes the next

and the next

and the next
