Men lining the path before the falls, kneel
with diamond rings
to ask women they love a question;
no one falls from the sky
...
If I were interested you wouldn't have to ask,
to cajole, the bribe is too low, even if I
could be persuaded to reestablish boundary lines
to accept your limited time offer, I respectfully decline,
...
Neither wind showing leaves how to swirl,
nor rain falling in its favorite direction,
but my determination to go against
the downward pull that gathers flesh

God Created Poetry
In the beginning God created the rules and the principles
That would govern His metrical composition.
Day one: God created metonymy and nature declared
The glory of God and His composite unity
Day two: God created the simile and man compared all
Things with like or as
Day three: God saw that the simile was alone and He
Created the metaphor. And God called them
Comparisons
Day four: God created personification and man gave
Names to all of the animals
Day five: God created meter and all of God's creation
Moved in perfect harmony.
Day six: God created exposition and it was clearly
Understood that love is God's nature and His
Divine purpose.
Day seven: God ceased from all of His works and set apart
The Sabbath. And God said that on this day
Mankind should rest and meditate on His Word.
Time Lapse: The critics of God became entangled with
Hyperbole. In doing so man separated himself
From the Creative Genius of life: God so loved
His metrical composition that He sent Jesus Christ
To inscribe the elements of poetry upon the hearts
Of mankind
