Poetic Courtesy

Just wanted to take this time

To allow much respect

For this thing called poetry

And showing it the courtesy

Until my last breath

Writing and writing

Until I have nothing left

As poetry has been inviting

From the very beginning

And a fire felt

Tightening my mind

Like a leather belt

As each thought of mine

Over a long period of time

Has kept me going

Title for title

Poem for poem

Bypassing the norm

And being a quiet storm

To be read and embraced

For miles around

Picking me up and never down

As I've appreciated

Every single moment

That has ever occurred

Line by line

Word for word

As I write always

With a sense of urgency

For this is one moment

But never the last

That I acknowledge and give

Some poetic courtesy
