How do poets count?
Poets count in syllables and lines
Instead of sheeps.
The haiku seventeen
The sonnet fourteen.
But in love, they count how many
And not the pocket’s conquest
I learned to count thru my mom’s song
Poems thru my grandmother’s recitation
before I sleep
And when I fall in love,
I count the heartbeats
The minutes we gaze at each other
That melts like ice cream
And If I see tomorrow with him.
Love as the poet loveth.
