Poets - Why They Smile Poem by Lori Boulard

Poets - Why They Smile

Rating: 5.0


I know why they smile-
those poets
authors
on the inside
back cover.
They've seen it,
done it, lost
and won.
Knitting words
never tangling
catching every single
hook, threading ideas
into matching little
socks; a perfect accessory
for your nightstand.
And all for $15 a pop.

Excellent; every breath is a nice little sock that I enjoy...

What a charming train of thought - gathering all the little threads and knitting them into a book - loved this whole poem. Scarlett
