Every poem has to start somewhere
and end somewhere
or not at all
which is what I prefer
it is just a matter of putting together
what you’ve got now
or had once
such as a reflection in a silent pond
and perhaps a parrot
and a moon
or a moon and parrot
and maybe a wee bit of pear blossom
and you say
what about that boy
in the red shirt and the scary dinosaur
it’s perfectly normal
for any poem
to end unsatisfactorily
if you expect to go on with it in a dream
