Ralph La Rosa
Write, write and then write. With about 10,000 hours of practice in your favorite genre, you will be a competent writer. With more effort, you'll be good. I didn't start writing poetry until in my late sixties, so I'm still a "young poet" who needs a lot of practice.
Ralph La Rosa
A Play Pen
A poet’s pen at play
shapes sound as if it's clay:
It measures sonic spaces
modulating paces,
turns senses into tropes,
when styling losses, hopes,
blessings, caustic curses,
puzzles, comic verses.
Its light and serious fun
at times inscribes a pun,
pens icons of our breath
in scripts defying death.
