P – for poise and passion as poets play around with words!
O – for an obvious and observant eye for what the world may feel and see but knows not how to say!
E – for elegant and effervescent language which knows how to state much by frugal means!
T – for the tantalizing and the teasing play of words letting the thought appearances get deceptive!
R – for refreshing and reflective happening at the same time, often!
Y – for the youthful and the yonder outlooks creeping in-between the lines!
Each time I’d recite it, I find something new in this poem and newer ways to recite it for my audience!!
…..I find poetry everywhere!
Oh, poetry in community spaces!
