PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

poem's manifesto

I begin before you arrive, 

standing in my own structure, 

refusing a single doorway 

yet welcoming the reader who listens, 

enduring the reader who arrives armed, 

keeping my interior weather intact 

and remaining unfinished by design, 

answering only to the line 

and walking beside the reader who trusts uncertainty, 

finally continuing beyond the final word.
