Writing Poetry is Fun

Some poets go to great
lengths to discover
their muse
and I ask how
it is leaving your family
or taking drugs
expands your view?
I knew someone who got
lost along that path.

Is it not possible
to enlighten one’s
view by spending many
occasions
in outdoor sounds
within a forest where
the scent
of wilderness is
such joy?

I’ve been accused
of taking the second path,
a new avenue
for poetic consideration.
