Basketball of Poetry

Ball moving around Aiming at the basket so round Shots made, near or far Keeper of the ball, holding a jar Endless thoughts of poetry Throwing the ball in words of artistry Buzzer-beater you write and shoot Assist and hoop in the circle of moot Lay ups you turn or twist Long shots you write, release or miss Out of the many words you pen Fumble or great, you drive underneath the basket of wren Poems from your mighty heart On the freethrow-line you dash and impart Entries of undying perspiration Tokens of incessant inspiration Reminiscences of your works of art Your poetry in motion never depart
