On A Different Approach.... Poem by Sylvia Frances Chan

Since the earliest hours in the morn
I started with the words
from the previous night
to spit out
on the blank paper
the paper as patient as infinite
I still have the nagging
from cracking pens
or dry ink pots
my words always want to raft
not the rafts along the river
as in the countries with tropical heat
the raft deep inside with a loving beat
writing is not that bad at all
with muse
or without
upon it
or down-under it
the brains kept well together
these are all really true
I also love to consume vegetables as you do
half-cooked
that's so healthy
please, do not eat with full mouth
sorry, I mean
do not talk to the full face
you know it
a slip on the tongue
and I am doing
perpetually wrong
please would you mind
to sing a song
along with me?
you sing the song
and I will hum its refrain with thee
I will not do it in disdain
I'll end this declaration of love
to poetry art,my love
my life
my love
my all in all
my poetic art life
my poetic art love
all and everything
I present to God above
And to mankind all over the world
my art
my love
my poetic life
a constant strife
all my life....
