Meeting another poet is always a joy to me. We all write so differently and can learn so much from each other, but I always step a little lightly on these occasions, I want to make a friend, explore the differences in our writing and, sometimes, we fly together …
ON MEETING ANOTHER POET
I offer my poetry
as tentatively
as we move
into relationship
we are new
to each other
and have to read
the poem that we are
in each other’s eyes
we make a poem
between us
that tells who we are
to each other
