Exploration

3 Poetic Attempts on Attempts at Poetry

By Allie Gerlach

Words

I can fight with you

All day l o n g

And still go well

Into the night.

Never gentle,

You mince me.

 

A Thought unfolds its gracious wings sings but where to break the line
 

A thought unfolds

Its gracious

Wings –

Sings

A thought

Unfold

Sits gracious

Wingssing.

Ouch.
 

The pen collapses from my hand –

I’ve written more than my heart can stand.
