A Fish Or A Poem
by Philip Johnson

 

.................................Sometimes
...................................words
...............................fall
...........................like rain
.....................into line
.......................in rhyme
...................nice and easy

.....................
Sometimes
...........they’re so stubborn
it takes a hammer and chisel
..........................................to contrive
.......................................and sculpture
.......................................................verse
Often
there are so many of them
........forming at once they stick
...............stick on the tongue
