The Velum of Clouds
For all the planning
and learned preparation
poetry remains part
mystery
a write only dimly solvable
a poet wisely advised to
proudly accept
all credits, while adhering failures
to sacrificial muses,
the lambs should
be accustomed by now
to writers’ confiscations
and slanders
our best definition:
poetry~ likened to love --
fond works
pinned to the heart
stapled to the velum
of high flying clouds~
hopefully
ascending
for safe keeping
and reunion
