Paul Breslin Poems
My lady Mary, lovely Mystic Moon,
Didn't you hear before I wept so loud?
You've not arisen in my thoughts too soon.
...
"When ye was young, ye worked much better,"
Frank Finnegan said to his body
"Ye ran and ye leaped like an Irish setter
And yer proportions wasn't s'shoddy.
...
Pudgey Pump, the playground tough,
Sun-baked a pot of mud-pie stew.
Delectable, it was enough
For Pudgey's own selected few.

The Best Poem Of Paul Breslin
Lovely Mystic Moon
My lady Mary, lovely Mystic Moon,
Didn't you hear before I wept so loud?
You've not arisen in my thoughts too soon.
Those storm-racked clouds across my mind were strewn
To darken skies of sun-lit love I vowed,
My lady Mary, lovely Mystic Moon.
The lonely hours since dreary yesternoon
Uncolored earth beneath a gloomy shroud ...
You've not arisen in my thoughts too soon.
Will you forget you heard my heart impugn
Your golden realms, if I confess I'm proud,
My lady Mary, lovely Mystic Moon?
The strings were playing soft a throbbing tune
And dancers swayed to please a dark-eyed crowd...
You've not arisen in my thoughts too soon.
Forgive me, if untimely importune -
Kneeling before you, head in sorrow bowed,
My lady Mary, lovely Mystic Moon,
You've not arisen in my thoughts too soon.

The Paul Breslin of Braintree, MA whose four poems appear on your site is not the Paul Breslin of Northwestern University you link to him in your biographical information. Paul Breslin of Northwestern university also publishes poems (a book, _You Are Here_, appeared in 2000; individual poems over the years in _Poetry_, _Slate_, _APR_, _Agni_, _TriQuarterly_, and elsewhere.) . The Northwestern Breslin's poems are very different from those of his Massachusetts Doppelgaenger. Just wanted to straighten this out. -Paul Breslin Department of English Northwestern University
