I'm choosing to ignore this week's writing prompt. Here is a poem I wrote many years ago, but just now found:
God! I Hate Gertrude Stein
The land
is a poem
is the land.
Your face
is a poem
is your face.
My soul
is a poem
is my soul.
Is a poem
is my soul
is the land
is your face
Is a poem?

Nice. This kind of reminds me of ee cummings ...
Crafty play of words but a good poem...
i wanted badly to come up with
a better descriptive word
to describe how i felt
as i read
and reread
this poem.
and yet,
each time,
i got "cool"
and when i say "cool"
i want you to understand
that i mean that in the best
way possible,
i mean that i love it,
and that it caught me,
and that it held me,
and that it actually
insisted that i go back
and reread it...
and it was cool.
:)
I really like this! I would be thrilled to find something of this quality in my old writings! Thank you for sharing it!
Is an inspiration.
Thanks for all of the wonderful comments. I appreciate the feedback.

I can't think of anything more rewarding that having someone saying something like this about my writing. Wow! Thank you.
I really like this poem - have you read any Wendy Cope? She occasionally plays like this and it's very successful.
I wasn't familiar with Wendy Cope but have spent some time this afternoon reading about her & some of her works on the internet. Thanks for recommending her.
