Poem: With/Without Words

by Jack Brummet

1
If I don't write it down
It's gone like a pickpocket,
Easing back into the crowd.

2
If I don’t write it down,
The earth, unaware

Of the loss,

Spins away--

With or without

The words.

3
If I don’t write it down,
The words race away
Like a hit and run driver.

Poem: Dragons

1.
You may be a bottomless chasm.
But every bucket needs a bottom.

You may be receptive.
But every bucket soon fills up.

2.
The earth's factory setting
Is receptive

She takes on everything we dish out.
So far.

3.
Dragons fight in the meadow
Their blood is black and yellow.
