(About Poems)

Enter through the window,

not the door,

if you’re a poem.

Doors are so conspicuous.

You must be creative—

make me wonder

how you got here—

layered in metaphor,

side-smiled with simile

—surprise me,

even when just spoken plainly

from your heart.

As no doubt, even cerebral,

you are

all

heart.

Also, I’m delighted to have three poems in Lakdi Ka Pul – II, The Poetry Bridge, An International Anthology by Twin City Poetry Club.
