I lessen myself
for the comfort of the world
even as I pour myself into
the full body of the poem
my very breaths are aligned in verse
my meaning enriched with tone
although
no great poet am I
every harbor known
is my worded home
I am countess to the numbers
mistress to every affair
deserter of lies
and reader of every underdog's cause
a push over
with more over than push
a believer of the less is more approach
but a long over worded giver
who hasn't quite got that concept
in her writing bag
yet...........
