      June 6, 2015Charlie GersonWhat Am I Doing

      If I am walking, but talking
      but what if I am playing, but swimming
      I may be jumping or diving or flying,
      afraid of dying or dancing or braiding
      or I may be dribbling a ball
      or eating my dinner or acting a play
      or thinking on flying or jogging or painting a flower
      and then drawing it after or running
      but to be jumping again
      but right now I am good to be walking again
      in my mind

      from 2015 RYPA

      Why do you like to write poetry?

      “Because it’s fun and you don’t have to write a specific thing. It makes me use my imagination.”
