ONE, a poem [T, 9-19-17]


I made one great joke
It was not enough for a set

I wrote one great line
It was not enough for a poem

I hummed one great melody
It was not enough for a song

I had one great idea
It was not enough for an app

I drew one great picture
It was not enough for an exhibit

I built one great chair
It was not enough for a house

I planted one great tree
It was not enough for a forest

I told one great story
It was not enough for a book

I lost my heart for one great love
It was enough for a life
