The Poetry of Mark Daniel Milbocker 
Word

Word strikes a tone
a sundering syllable upon the Deep
a sparkle of offsprung images flood
the plain, dim expanse surprised.

Resonance shatters icy notions
of the world the way I want
And the shower of glittering possibilities
burns in its sparkling.

Work builds the verb igloo
phrase upon metaphor and dance
of eternal rhyme within
the soul speaking its river.

Empathy shelves the slicker;
Enjoy the rain of imagery
with naked arms waving in the
smile of shared sunlight.

For within the fallen melt
of incessant creativity
coursing across the expanse
builds a sea frozen no more.

With a word, we were broken
a verb, we spoke
an image, we shared, and
we are made anew.
