Contributor Series 6: A Currency of Words
Word for Word
By Ivan Jenson
Earth
means the
world to me
and I love
love
and hate
hate
but
could
care less
for carelessness
and negativity
has a negative
effect on me
I don’t
want to
want
and it
hurts
to hurt
so I
walk
the walk
and talk
the talk
take
each
day
a day
at a time
and
it ain’t
over
til it’s
over
and the plus-sized
lady sings
Ivan Jenson’s most recent poem to appear at vox poetica was It’s not too late (August 2010).
Great poem. Loved the ending.
Fun and serious too. Yes, the ending is great.
