San Gabriel Valley Poetry Quarterly

VIVID DESCRIPTION

 

Your face

An angel

Burns deep in my heart

Igniting the soul

 

I really don’t believe in photographic memory

Unless it’s yours

 

The pictures are there

For you to decide

Which to write

As they flood thought of eye

 

Can you put them in writing

Or does somebody have to

Spell them out to ya’

You can improvise the punctuation

 

Now on paper

Do not crumple it

To throw away

Or play with a little later

 

Hey man

Your writing poetry

And I ain’t gonna give

You that line

 

The strong survive

Live

And

Pursue

Perfection
