i'd like to think
if i were to write a poem,
i'd hope it would carry along
something of significance
if that were the last straw
i mean really significant!
so, if I took a small fishing boat
out on lake erie
and threw over my heart,
it would still be in a body
since that is the case,
what effect can it have?
in one aspect, it's in the cradle
of nature's element,
and when it's floating in the waves
there are ups and downs
and if i were to do that
with this language as i know it
would it not still have peaks and valleys
floating in the water -
like a life preserver
words can be funny, though
so, if i were to write all this
while sitting in the boat
and strike a match and light this poem,
would thoughts get intensely hot for a brief moment?
but there is my heart
still floating
if a line were attached,
would it be worth reeling in?
verbalizations can sometimes come across
like diamonds in the field
it takes a lot of extracting to reach a defining point
if i have gone overboard,
will my soul for a change become significant?
poetry as stand up, eh, DC? and when it's floating in the waves there are ups and downs

A poem to be overthrown to, nice one. This is just fan mail so I won't pretend it is a critique. ;-)
Good poem. I really like the part about the fishing boat and throwing your heart over. Very interesting read. Mentioned on the new poems review thread on the literotica poetry forum.
