The Poem

Why can't a poem 

Why can't a poem 


Why can't a poem

Just be

Why must one

Call it good, bad Or mediocere

Does one pass Judgement

On dewdrops ?

The light in

A woman's eye?

The swell of waVeS?

A grain of ,sand ?

A gnarled tree branch clutching at the sky?

Why can't a poem

Just be ?
