How To Write a Poem

You should start
With something specific
Something sensual

The cat perches on my lap
Spreading his paw in the air
When I tickle his cheek
Letting me use his head
As a wrist cushion

The fan loudly disperses the roast chicken fumes
That already tickle my nose with a hint of thyme
And blur the view of the unopened letter pile
On my desk

The dog runs back and forth like a mad thing
When we walk in the park with a friend
And he finally gets off the leash

My blind friend has both his own skis
And rollerblades

Then you should move
To the universal

Blinded by comfort
Seeking freedom
