Thanks to Reya of Grace's Poppies for the delightful idea to post poetry today. If you've got a blog, go pick a poem.
Poetry Is a Trestle
by Nikki Giovanni
poetry is a trestle
spanning the distance between
what i feel
and what i say
like a locomotive
i rush full speed ahead
trusting your strength
to carry me over
sometimes we share a poem
because people are near
and they would notice me
noticing you
so i write X and you write O
and we both win
sometimes we share a poem
because i'm washing the dishes
and you're looking at your news
or sometimes we make a poem
because it's Sunday and you want
ice cream while i want cookies
but always we share a poem
because belief predates action
and i believe
the most beautiful poem
ever heard is your heart
racing
