Like old “Buk”
I’m looking for the perfect poem,
one that captures the birth of a world
in the dot above the “i”.
Of course, if I found it
I’d be done, and have no need
for metaphors kept in zip lock bags,
nor synonyms in a screw top jar.
All my boxes of “a’s” and “e’s”,
separated from the “t’s” and “q’s”,
have no value as alphabet rust, only
strung together are there threads to read.

About Me
- Pat Paulk
- 2009! 57 years ago in April I was a 2# squealing baby boy. Got a wonderful tan in an incubator. Made friends with plastic tubing, needles and tape. All of which I have zero recollection. I've been well watered and fertilized over the years, and grown quite ripe. Plastic tubing, needles and tape are catalysts for flashbacks without the buzz. Enjoy!

...this was a fun read, I enjoy this piece as well.
if you are looking for the perfect poem it seems to me it is always the one hot off your pen. and I love rust...and have never seen alphabet rust until you described it for me...and made me see it just to read your words.
good one--want to clean up and organize my shop?
giggling... thinking Vanna White of poetry!
so true, pat, so true...
love it!!
so true
but i guess we need to keep looking
wise man :)
I liked this one...you get an "A"
time for you to leave the construction industry far behind and concentrate more on the part time job!
great stuff mate.
Yes I quite like this Pat...how very true.
Pat, There is so much truth to this, and so well and artfully put.
Well done. You've inspired me to go out re-supply my own inventory of letters.
Sometimes it does feel that way..:D
