Carry The Fire (Bernadette Mayer,1945-2022) Poem by LeeAnn Azzopardi
Carry The Fire (Bernadette Mayer,1945-2022)
Bernadette, I am with you in spirit
Among the Catholic Bourgeoise of a small town
I was the mad poet of my generation
Being told that being poet wasn't an ideal job
But I was like you
Stubborn in my ideas, I knew I had chosen right
I could never be happy as a store manager
I was too much of a bohemian to lead
My head was in the clouds of grandeur
Becoming know not only for poetry, for lifestyle also
Let yr soul consume my mind
As I will fight for yr school of beliefs
Bernadette, I will carry the fire
We salute all 3 of you, Bernadette, You and this unforgettable, poem.
Let yr soul consume my mind... I will embrace your schools of thought! Appreciated this lovely poem!
Wo great tribute. Poetry takes us from the mundane to a higher plateau. Glad you chose poetry!
