Napowrimo Day 10. Book spine poem (Poetry Books)

Say Owt!

"Say Owt".
Say anything at all.
Let the words on your tongue, flow.
Let those "Sweat-borne secrets" stain the sheets beneath your fingers
As the ink stains your hands.
Dance naked in "Dust motes and faded green velvet"
While you silently smile.
Be "The sunshine kid" you always were,
You always wanted to be, again.
Don't let the strain of life drag you under.
It's not always right to think
"More bees better bonnets"
Open up your mind again.
Open up your soul
And let these "Island songs" flow through you.
Echo through you.
Translate through you.
We are all one "Tribe"
Build your "Lapstrake" boat
Word by word.
Line by line,
And set sail with stars your only guide.
