Time Is A Poet Poem by Douglas Scotney
Time Is A Poet
One poet is too many
to decorate a ruined shed.
Time needs no poet.
New stuff does,
and easily accommodates a hundred.
One poem about ruin from poverty or neglect
is too many poems about it.
A poem diminishes ruin,
time;
but a new shed,
no time, well, just in,
is lifted by rhyme.
