One paw on outside stairs
Another follows up
A quick stop to sniff; lap rain water
A little hobble with the back paws
Front paws again
Left then right; stop to sniff
Back left; back right
Repeat until make it to top
Dog still managing to get up stairs
Just a little slower now

making it dark
where they hide
the sneaky masked
animals, raccoons,
who whisper among
themselves of what
food they will
steal at night.
You say I don’t write my poems in the conventional way
Of poets that have gone before me.
That my first work of twelve poems, Leaves of Grass, was in a jumble.
That there was nothing poetic about them
Except each line began with a capital letter.
You saw that there was no rhyming or meter.
My lines varied with wildly uneven length.
I wanted to free my lines from strict verses that had become archaic.
I experimented with the art of writing from the normal way that I saw around me.
I used my line breaks based on the way it would be printed.
You still say it is not poetry at all.
My poems having no pattern in their sights.
But, did you take the time to read them?
Did you ponder what was there at all?
Do you see the energy and individualism that I write my poems?
I wrote about the working classes.
The major events that shaped our time.
I talked about things you dared to talk about in public.
You critics of my time won’t understand the way I write my works of poems.
I hope our future will read and understand what I wrote.
April 28th Prompt: Write a poem in the form of a letter from a famous poet, explaining something everyone has gotten wrong about a poem or some aspect of his or her work.
Mind of poet is
Fill with vivid imagery
Comes to life on page
Poet writes what comes
From watching all around him
They inspire poems
Dog
Soundly sleeping
On comfy bed
Tired running around home
Silence
Owner
Watching dog
From bedroom doorway
Takes photos on phone

As of October 31, 2017, Createspace has redone how they do the Createspace eStore. The eStore is going away and URL are redirecting to Amazon. Below is the CreateSpace URL in case you use CreateSpace. They have also removed the promo coupons codes you can create. So, for future books I will link just the Amazon one.
