Poetry Is A Way Of Knowing Poem by Frank Avon
Poetry Is A Way Of Knowing
A poem
is a little paper boat
streaming and floating
on a gush of rainwater.
All it takes
to make the boat
is a piece of paper
(and maybe a pencil) ,
but it takes
a gush of rainwater
to keep the paper
afloat.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
This is a tribute to Savita Tyagi, from whom my basic image is drawn ('A Poet's Heart) . It isn't enough to pen a poem; it takes a flood of compassion, or tenderness, or caring, or grace, to make it float.
