    Stray



    Out of the blue, you call
    Like a thief in the night
    Destitute
    Squalid and furry
    Crawling on all fours
    At my back door
    Head quarters to healin'
    Perserverance in your eyes detract
    The barely audible whimpers 
    I rescue you from your woes
    Doing my best to restore thee
    Elixirs come to mind; for starters
    Host of other details as well 
    I prepare a steamy bubbly liquid for your soak
    Sustenance in abundance; devoured
    Copious liquids quenched your thirst 
    Following inordinate hours of quiescent slumber
    Your youthful health
    Moments earlier, obscurred; now returns 
    Out of the blue, you disappeared quickly
    From whence you came
    Like a thief in the night

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
