Now

 In my latest poem, Now, I work through the realization point in the healing process from a painful past. The imagery is quick and rhythmically catchy, but it wasn't until I looked at the first 2/3rd's of the poem (which was, by the way, written on an index card at my kitchen sink at about 12:30 a.m.) that I realized the pattern was so much deeper then just the rhyming. And it's that realization which finishes out the poem, and thus, the title.
