may the poetry gods be with you
we don’t like to talk about the process
don’t want to give away anything
just in case it might be worth
something one day
trying to keep up with the joneses
is a no-win situation given they
rarely rely upon sleep or fortune
to achieve immortality
there are so many words that rhyme
with love and nature and
peace be with you
yet there seem to be much fewer ways
to make hatred and violence
obsolete in this day and age
