poems - Blackout Poetry Notes

Genuine Thrill

The genuine thrill of
books and poems
roused her
deeper than
any love affair.

This book
serves as my epigraph,
a work of art
turning other people's
creative fictions
into poems that explore
life experiences.

The best poems I have ever done
felt
too honest.

All my poems
are
for him.

The lonely life of a poet
is the primary source
of poems on
lost love.

It is like writing
a diary to you,
my poems
are all for you.

You gave me stories and poems
so, very simply,
you show me
that hope and love
are in this world.
