The Point Of It All

My poetry is for
the love of words
the joy of language
phrasing and innuendo
hidden meanings - in the open
plain speaking - camouflaged
heart felt sentiment
gut wrenching invective
mind doodles
startling realizations

My meager mind
is like a hamster's wheel
going round and round
and getting nowhere
so much energy expended
for so little progress
but it's working baby
it's working
and I feel better
whenever I use it
