inside the poem

what is the inside
of a poem

 

are you there
if you live it

 

do you have to know
or is it
anyway

 

~

 

what is the inside
of your life

 

do you reside
in stanzas

 

must you recite yourself
or are you
because you

 

~

 

your image has
a lyric flow

 

your life is rhythm
rhyme

 

your world
the driven cadence

 

how is it
living
on the inner side

 

come read to me

 

your life
aloud

 

~
