Lincoln Logging and Learning
Lincoln Logging
through life
has led Lee
the poet
to learn
to let his
lyrical words
(let us laugh)
leave his head
when little
else exists
to be said
Legally
lavishly
lamentably
leaving
lathering
paper below
literary
Pollocks on page
lessons of letters
alighted from
shelves in his
mentally lit
library
left behind
Lee the poet
is awake
alive
learning and
earning from
Lincoln Logging
that life
ain’t always
a story
just littering
that is just
as telling

“Pollocks on page” gives me paintings and fish. Lincoln logging gives me the game and the president. the story proliferates
Yes! Love that image.
‘Littering that is just as telling’
WOW!
Incredible! I especially love:
“that life
ain’t always
a story
just littering
that is just
as telling”
Awesome!
Lincoln Logging, a new poetic form!
What Linda said.
Love the Ls, especially Lincoln Logging (repeated2x)!
The short-clipped lines read great!
I especially enjoyed: “Legally\lavishly \lamentably\leaving\lathering” as it’s something I’ve associated with a ‘poetic’ style of prose in fiction.
