Poetry is a seed sprouting from the mind,
with radicles of words creeping from the core.
Craving the light of its voice,
it grows a hypocotyl of courage, expressed in cursive,
breaking the silence of solitary pages.
It unfolds leaves of laurel for those who nurture
the imagery born of its bittersweet nature.
Blossoming passion in every verse read,
poetry flourishes from the poet’s earthen head.
