Offering to my fellow poets
OFFERING TO MY FELLOW POETS
by Albert Russo
appeared in Aquill relle
a scathing review
should not cast you in a trance
tho your blood cries out
are you stuck with words?
then string them around your neck
they will set you free
whatever they say
remember Kipling's advice
about self-control
a drop of honey
a taste of eternity
wrapped in syllables
thanks to the haiku
you can recreate the world
or leave not a trace
before man could speak
he knew poetry
by intuition
foreign relations
is the language one uses
when love has no place
like ships in the night
like clouds shredding in the blue
like your closing heart
the boat is sinking
but who thinks of the havoc
wrought in the ocean
travel to the stars
with your bag of memories
and earth's illusions
in desperation
let dreams carry you away
they'll color your pain
