The Lavender Plant
My fiancee bought a tiny lavender plant
Which I have started to water when she's not home
to take care of it.
That I give another living thing besides myself
my attention takes me into the realm of love
Having the lavender to take care of
takes me outside my anxiousness to
create something from myself
When the muse seems hopeless to find
Since our apartment doesn't allow for pets
or children
She's the closest thing to
a daughter for us
My fiancee is right, we do need
to give more thought into the front of
our apartment, it's appearance.
That itself is art
When the hands fail

Poetry is important to my life because it gives me a way of saying things I never imagined were in me. My poems deal with all kinds of subjects, my attitude on today's culture, art, corporations, nature, etc. But these aren't the only things that I write about in my poetry. I don't have a favorite poet, but probably Michael McClure is the poet I have learned the most from, from his readings on YouTube.
