How to Build a Poem (Monday Poem)

by Charles Ghigna


Let's build a poem
made of rhyme
with words like ladders
we can climb.
with words that like
to take their time,

words that hammer,
words that nail,
words that saw,
words that sail,
words that whisper,
words that wail,

words that open
window    door,
words that sing,
words that soar,
words that leave us
wanting more.
