A Poem Lost
I wrote a poem
it wasn't long
but it said so much
contained wisdom
far beyond its word count
I wrote it quickly
stopping only to
dot my i's
cross my t's
never breathing
all the while
I wrote it heatedly
with vigor
and reckless abandon
gave my heart up
to the ink and paper
I wrote it once
and handed it in
now here I sit
missing those words
wishing I had
eidetic memory
