What is a poem?

by Jane Yolen

Hard work.
Emotion surprised.
Throwing a colored shadow.
A word that doubles back on itself, not once but twice.
The exact crunch of carrots.
Precise joys.
A prayer that sounds like a curse until it is said again.
Crows punctuating a field of snow.
Hard work.



When does writing words become a poem?
- I don’t know.

When is a poem a good poem?
- I don’t know.

I’m going to stop revealing how much I don’t know now…..

take a sad song and make it better
Remember, to let her into your heart,
then you can start, to make it better.


Há momentos bons e ruins em nossas vidas.
Momentos de desespero e outros de alegria.
E isso que nos faz "viver"
Beijaaaao
