With a thinking shovel I dig
Ideas in my head
Out come words, small and big
Upon a thoughtful bed
I never knew physics or math
Law or geometry
I only learnt to dig up words
To form a poetry

I am from India. My mother tongue is Hindi though I do understand and write in English too!
Nice imagery. I went on a archaeology dig – Hohokam indians in Arizona, when a senior in High School. Worked in the university’s museum for a semester as well. This was before the Indian Jones movies. Spent other times digging dirt and manure- no treasures there however. Thanks for sharing this poem!
I am an artistic-literary profile. I was never good at math. The image of this poem is very beautiful. Love the idea of a thinking shovel digging up words to craft poetry. Apparently simple, clear and lovely rhymes.
Physics and math were
Not my thing – not my talent –
But poetry is!
I can relate to your stuff, Frank!

What a fascinating analogy, I had never thought of writing poems in this way, I definitely ‘dig’ your words and can absolutely relate.
