Anatomy of a Poem

 Published in the Anthology Wollondilly Ink brought out by Wollondilly Branch of the Fellowship of Australian Writers in 2012

My heart is beating out of the pages
Pumping poetical terminology
around the manuscript

Enriching its flow
through its veins
Supplying words to the system
Paper absorbing ink

Fuel for growth of creativity
Generating energy filled sentences
for the reader to explore

Chapters of my life
create a firm structure
Auto-biographical building blocks

Taking a deep breath
to make sure
it is well written

Then ready to publish
