Morgan Michaels Poems

What you believe is true
if you believe it sincerely;
what you believe's untrue
if enough people disagree;
...

Not, Poetry, a
license for obscurity,
self-pity, or therapy
but a way to celebrate
...

Poetry is glorious
and awfully nice-
you can say anything
and you don't even have to be precise.
...

I didn't know the dog
the dog did not know me
I petted it, it bit me
uncritically.
...

as if sestina
shagging ottova rima
bred the perfect stanza
...
