Why I Don'T Like Poetry Poem by Patrick Dennis
Why I Don'T Like Poetry
The fondling soft ears of a dog,
the hand slap on the sweat-lathered neck of my horse
or my daughter's clasp round my neck
wire my heart
To the quest of source
of touch which, bristling with words,
forbids me enter
until I match the words
to the shape of silence.
