Great Write...

Every poem is an invitation
for the readers to use their imagination

a vehicle licensed
to carry passengers

who sometimes have a greater imagination
than the poet

even perhaps get more from the poem
than the poet knowingly put in

which you must admit
if with a slight embarrassment

as you read the words of praise
is a divine joke

and from the divine viewpoint
very practical since

every reader is an invitation
for the poets to match their imagination
