Poem: A Stack of Words

Rita Bourland © 2011- Stack of  Poetry

A Stack of Words

I stack my words

in poet’s form

the structure

ebbs and flows

the words connect

from high to low

and back and forth

they go

count them up

or count them down

 still just words

in space

an online verse

a conga dance

a poet’s

 tour de force

of course

but print the words

on paper fine

one poem atop another

a year of poems

a year of verse

a year of winsome wonder

a stack of words

it does become

a mighty stack of words

it gives me pause to view

this feat

my words

my strength

my hunger

for writing this

and writing that

and sometimes

saying nothing

but sometimes when

the magic strikes

I say something to ponder

it might just clap like thunder

on days like that

I’m glad I write

my lovely

stack of words

 so join me for a time

listen to a rhyme

share a year of words

a mighty stack of words

I ask

I hope

I pray

I plead

I never

lack for words.
