That Could be Interesting - April 15, 2023

time alone with my notebook

is such precious time

our breakfast meetings over coffee

staring out the window

the world in mid-yawn

when clues awaken

pop out of holes

or land on a branch

when I point and he agrees

“that could be interesting”

we brainstorm together

the scribble and scratch

words blended

torn apart

rearranged shaped

a creation born from nothing

but will it live?

this poem still wet

and wobbly

is trying to stand

on its own
