A Poem On Writing Poems

Acrostic, Haiku
Sonnet, Free verse
Styles, styles and well
More styles
And even more styles

Clicking return and deleting 
Constantly 
And stanza after stanza
Their own idea
Together with others
To make a poem

Rhyming or not rhyming
A singular line or paragraphs
What to do?

Continuously 
And furiously typing away
With the constant need
To go back
And revise
And then 
To go back and
Make small changes
Getting smaller and smaller
As you go

Although
It's all easy
A walk in the park
A piece of cake
Until
You finish revising
And editing
And you scroll up
To the top
Of the page

And what stares at you
Is the beginning of your poem
No title?

Perhaps, bigger font?
And stare, keep staring
Read and read
You know what you wrote about
Or do you?

And that
Is a poem
On writing poems

    A Scape

    A line
    That lies over the world
    In cities made by us
    And over all land

    A scape is
    Imagined
    It is simply
    An image
    And a scene
    From a place
    In nature
    Or in a city

    The scape of all things

    A Print Upon the World

    A thumbprint
    A fingerprint
    And a print
    It has been left
    In many a places

    Yet
    A print is one thing 
    You can never lose
    No matter how hard you try
    To remove
    it
    it stays with you
    You can’t abandon it
