There are enough words
to go around. There’s no need
for me to covet yours,
and yet somehow you seem
to find the perfect ones
while I fuss, fumble and groan,
trying first this and then that.
You take words and shape them into song
while I stutter and stumble along.
Still, if I keep practicing
maybe I’ll turn stumbles into song.

For me, you already do.

I love it when a poet makes her words belong to a specific time and event and them shares them out for all of us to play with and be inspired by! You do just that, Joan. 🙂
