A Harvest Of Poems



I cultivate my sheet
My paper is faced in
Different directions
And sizes in the world,
As I disseminate
Ideas into words
In rows along the sheet,
Which takes days, weeks, or months
The critics eat away
At every single word,
But character and truth
So purely white falls on
My harvest of poems,
That is seen from the sky
In the color of  green
