the poem in the courtyard

outside in the courtyard
bricks stacked
into the shape of a submarine
“it is a poem” she said
“how can it be?” he asked
“it must be either bricks or sculpture
how can it be a poem”
“it is a poem “ she said
“because I say it is”
“well it is not a very good poem” he said
“well” she said
“that is another question altogether”

 

 

 

Jim Bennett checked at www.poetry kit.org recently and found that he was still alive.  As usual to celebrate he wrote a poem.
