Poetry Is Poem by Len Webster

Throwing a word in the air
Watching it curl with the breeze
Taking a magic carpet of Turkish Delight
Willing others to follow

Seeing it cavort out of control
Selecting its travelling companions
Believing in the great adventure
Beyond past, present or future

Embracing the need to give birth
Tending the shooting star snapshots
Waving unmarked farewells on the uncertain journey
Loving the loss of the deserting lover

Accepting that no-one honestly knows
