Day 26: When The Poet Sleeps


When the poet sleeps,
what then?
The other mind picks up
The pen,
Dips into the ink,
And then….

Chaos, ALL
the letters      a-jumble, no
Rhyme-or-Reason
(but a whole lot of rep-rep-rep-
etition)
The meter is empty, the metaphor
Has  f l o w n  the coop –
And where have all the chickens gone?

They’re scratching at the ground
Searching for words

While the poet sleeps
