Focus on Creation

"Write a hurry poem."


Never rush
when you are baking,
tidy  up
afterwards
or crucial ingredients
may be forgotten.

A cake may not rise,
if bread lacks salt, it's tasteless.
Leave the mess
for later,
like while creation
is baking.

About purplepeninportland

I am a freelance poet, born and bred in Brooklyn, New York. I live with my husband, John, and two charming rescue dogs–Marion Miller and Murphy. We spent eight lovely years in Portland, OR, but are now back in New York. My goal is to create and share poetry with others who write, or simply enjoy reading poetry. I hope to touch a nerve in you, and feel your sparks as well.
