A Favorite Poem
By GC SMITH
A favorite poem
ain’t what I own
‘cause poesy
goes in one ear
goes out the other
There may be a poem
I wish I wrote
‘cause the poet
spoke to me
so clearly
A clever line
a super strophe
some cool enjambment
or nifty rhyme
can sure enthrall me
I’ll look again
to find
the poem,
that favorite
that eludes me
When I find
that favorite poem
I’ll do my best
not to try
a copy
Because, you see,
to emulate
would rob from
that poem its
essence
