keyboard
seeds of creation of change await the magic
hope a little frustration even full-blown anger
—the keys do nothing without your touch
words of encouragement music and song
cause wonder—all the world’s a stage wrote the bard
why ‘attend’ when you can perform? said andrew
with a little soil water sunlight or a grow-lamp
this could become a garden plot desktop manageable
by anyone inspired to become a living poet
