Cliché
Power in words
can only go so far,
before you know,
before you see,
what seems and is,
and was never there.

A formula could make it,
a machine.
Is this poetry?
Or just words put
on a page out of order?

Describe a flower,
in breaks and with
occasional mixing up of words.
A pun or subtlety,
makes it good.

Play with words
and use the same cliché
as that other person
whose poem you read,
the other day.

I write for myself. I don't try to tailor what I make to fit other people.
