WITH POEMS

WITH POEMS

began
to bombard you with poems

knowing you
would have been preferred
to be showered with flowers
bathed in champagne

but in essence each
poem is
itself
a kind
of flower

sort of like
a mouthful
of champagne

take them together
as they
     flow
into each other

this host
of poems

amounts to
a veritable deluge
of flowers

a monsoon rainstorm
of finest French champagne
