Bricklayers And Necklace Stringer Writers

Folder: 
Different Drummers

*

Some writers are bricklayers..
making an outline..
assiduously adding brick after brick

Others are cataracts of inspiration
.. a whole manuscript can come from
them in a few days

Still others begin after many decades
to pen for the first time a lifetime of experience..

while poets are often necklace stringers..
their pages.. come one at a time..
their poems exist on their own..

like a river is the string..
and each new river valley
jade with spring or
gold in the fall
is a different poem

Author's Notes/Comments: 

may their poems be
strung on pages
not from trees..
on nonviolent nontree
paper
may come their q's and p's
