Expectancy

Lilies and hyacinths
air's sweet refrain 
Hope's fragrance exudes
from earth once again.

Dear readers,

There is a medical term already in use for the medical state of "expecting": This term is "pregnancy" -- not "expectancy." Kindly refrain from allowing plagiarists and sick, shrunken minds to reinterpret my poetry through someone's obsession with pregnancy, gynecology, and abortion. The word "expectancy" has such a wider, emotionally universal meaning than any physical state. Poetry will not submit itself to the concrete reduction of truncated minds demanding "answers" of it which, by its very open-ended, mysterious nature, it was not designed to give. The enigmatic beauty of poetry is that it is meant to be, to some degree, an unsolved mystery. For concrete details and "answers," please consult journalists in the field of journalism. Thank you.
