Float like a butterfly,
sting like a battery.
A 9 volt to the tongue
harmless yet sensory.
Write flowers, write lightbulbs,
write power, write nightclubs.
Taste the flavor of the sand;
write with whatever's in your hand.
Pen a question with no mark
Take ambiguity to heart.
(But please do not take it too far.)
Say what's easy, do what's hard.
Tell the story of your heart
or simply make a piece of art.
Water-ski a lake of words,
take inspiration from the birds.
Have fun with it! (at least you should)
Whatever you make, make it good.

Thankful to you for these beautiful words to the great poets who are so passionate and so simple at heart…to the chaotic world, a poet is a window who can show a different world from nature to politics …from romance to fantasies…from serious social issues to spirituality…from surreal to reality…an ode to all the great poets who are so curious about everything
Well crafted dear poet
words Ali himself would have been proud to have penned, I think
thanks for sharing, dear poet
you're Awesome!
