some days
I am a piece of paper
and not a poet
or a pen
of mottled ink
Just white
unused- empty
there are moments
I am filled
devoid of thought
written and tossed
mostly I am
velvet
thinly smooth
supple
feeling each touch
fingers
dyed with skin
and nerves
then I write
poetry
mostly words,
because I need to;
I want to
so you can hear

tried punctuation eh..liked it better without??

Beautiful
This poem is particularly interesting because a poet can take it literally and anybody else can feed on the metaphor and get nourisment.
I like the tightness, the airiness of this, particularly.
