Poetry Is My Profession

October 14, 2008

by Neal Whitman

I profess to come and go as I please. 
Come to a place where my mind and heart are open to what is true.
Go somewhere before or after words take place.

I profess to take the time and make the space for poetry to happen.
Take the time to breathe.
Make the space to pay attention.

I profess to learn to write and write to learn.
Come learn something old.
Come write something new.
