Ode to the Young Poet
JD DeHart
I have seen your work,
young poet, that primordial
me or two ago.
Did you know you were
creating a written record
of your travels in prose
and verse?
Did you know this would
be a digital extant portfolio
from early days of scribble?
No matter.
The word is in the world,
let it ring, a hollow
chime or blasting gong.
Let it reach and build
or teach how verses
should be by negation.
