For the Novice

Trivial things become grand

Grand things become trivial

We write concerns in poem to forget them

We write ideas into poem to remember them

We write up concepts to reveal

We write up teachings to conceal

We write pains in poem to wash them away

We write joys in poem to preserve them if we may

We write out tomes to process confusion

We write up silly thoughts to create illusion

Then burst the bubbles of words with our pen

To start the process of poetry all over again
