Welcome to Poetically Yours. Poetically Yours showcases poems by northern Illinois poets.
This week’s featured poet is Kathryn Lazzara.
Lazzara attended WNIJ's Poetically Yours Poetry Workshop last month. While there, she recorded several poems. This one is called "Of Questionable Sanity."
Words,
Cajoled and threatened,
Through force of will and
The deaths of many trees
Who gave their very lives
For all,
Only to be found, thrown down
In little crumpled clumps of
Frustration;
By hands all stained with ink (or
Is that blood?)
Until ...
Eventually ...
Finally ...
As light paints the Eastern sky
The madness ends.
Words surrender.
(or was that me?)
