I have to print it out to break it down
I have to read again to understand
I separate the lines to see them flow
and build a construct and watch it grow
If everyanything* can be done
and we make a life from one block – two
then somebody’s something we grow to behold
welcoming all and sundry into the fold
In other words positive beats negative down
and words build spirit – life jumps from the page
read aloud or in silence – effect is the same
my friend is poetry – words given a name
*the word ‘everyanything’ comes from E E Cummings’ ‘adult nursery rhyme’ ‘If everything happens that can’t be done’
