Improv Poetry

Since we added this large drop caps thing, I have not written or posted poetry at tumbledry. So for the time being, I have to preface poems with paragraphs so they don’t look bizarre with a huge first letter. The following is off the top of my head, no revisions, no second-guessing.

Pushing the hair back from my forehead
I search in the mirror
For what I’ve become

Faces, you know, tell the true story
For those who have time to search for the pieces

Time doesn’t march
It hops and skips
Slow, then fast, blurred, then clear
Peak to peak, gaining speed through the valleys

Free form in life, in writing too
Doesn’t have to clash with more rigid demands
Two can temper one another
One and one, more than two
