THE GOD OF POETRY AND I

by Kay Renz

A gorgeous guy approached me the other day.
said he’d like to be my lover.

“Well now, sir, that takes some thought.” I said.

“You see I’m a poet and Apollo is my lover.
I am slave to his every whim. Any time,
Any place I hear his whispered sigh, I yield to him.

We ride his chariot on a current of words and emotions,
and our consummation is the creation of a poem.

A satisfying affair it has been ….till now—
but if you’re not the jealous type…”
