hard to do things

It’s hard to be the poet
who has to do the unfortunate thing
of writing unreadable poetry,
but that’s why I’m here.
I can do it in a heartbeat,
just like a switch,
poetry on
and off.

I had a treasure, yes, my heart but now it’s yours. You took it,
just like a farmer takes an apple from the tree.

I am kind of forced to do this
but this is the time I love because of you,
and that’s good and that’s right. I said!​

My dear poet and friend, Fidel,
your talent is very original
because it is so capable
to convert a simple
triangle in poem
You've done it
My big hug,
Ulpiano

 

Dear Ulpiano,
I try to do my best.

I believe no garden is complete
without a simple but beautiful flower.

I've to make fun of myself in order to relax,
to clear my head...it’s a beautiful thing, different
feelings to be able to write in English, simple and all and
at the same time, hard to find. As people say, poetry happens.

Thanks again and yes, the triangle, circles, these forms I like.

Fidel.
