Here With Her


from the ABC set Poems

I could wake
Here
Every morning

Not this room,
Not this drive
Or even this town -

I could wake
Here
Every morning
Under this sun
Next to her
This beautiful girl.

Less is more, cormacru, as you demonstrate here, so well.

Even though I write some long poems, I appreciate the short ones most. I like them when they're short and clear.

sometimes I write out a big long piece and then leave it alone for a few month, until I'm not attached to the work as much. and then I tear out all the extra and see what's left. often that's the best way for me to figure out what I'm really trying to say. If its not a story, then it should just be a statement.

Yes this is a very clear statement C999- short and very sweet- so simply put and yet poignant.
Beautiful
