out of thin air

I now find poetry everywhere I go

I seek it out

I go looking

Every cup of hot chocolate

Books angled differently on my desk

The way my blanket looks tonight

Or just the feeling of my hair

Holds a hidden metaphor

I find poetry in the moonlight

In the specks of dust that bask in it

My mothers paintings

purple, green and orange

Verses spill out

I can’t contain them sometimes

Words string themselves together

Flowing endlessly

So i guess

A better way to say it

is poetry finds me
