Why Write Poetry

Sentences refuse to form –
words, however, bear pairing

Punch-packed phrases
delicate unnervings

Fear grasps the wrist
stunts sentences –

thoughts staccato
emotions gagging

Poetry loosens the grip
bundles the mayhem

spits it out –
births breakthrough.

Permission to write, paint, and imagine are the gifts I gave myself when chronic illness hit - a fair exchange: being for doing. Relevance is an attitude. Humour essential.
