Hooda Helami Poem About Poetry

________________________________________________________________________________________________

A poem is a thing
where rhyming words
ring
and you hear
 silence sing
with every-
thing
 
A poem is a thing
where words 
waltz
and nothing is
false
until your heart
halts
 
A poem is a thing
with flowery 
words
that sound like
birds
chirping in time
be it fourths
or thirds
***

  3. Sing , Sing , ring, ring , rhyming thing, everything and nothing is chirping. My analysis reveals an obsessive personality fixated on the ninth, fourteenth, and eigth letters of the alphabet which is generally due to a troubling trauma occurring during the 31st year of life and leading to a complete inversion of the major diatonic scale which then results in a dissonant dulcimer melody further complicating the anxiety and confusion of the both the audience and patient. At this time I can offer little hope beyond intense dedication and focus on disciplined scrabble practice with ageing incarcerated seniors . Sincerely
