shimon weinroth Poems

Discerning quality
of one by another is observation
senses five on which we thrive
consciousness and knowledge compute
...

It might all depend on who came first
or how many cliches, dance on my lines
I walk the dogs, the dogs walk with me
lead me on. know the route as well as I
...

Heraclitus is quite right
Newton took the queue
time flows, streams through
...

Triolus in his sore need
beseeched and pled his case
to his friend Pindarus
Criseyde's uncle and protector
...

relief freed of pressure
and need immediate
gasps and sighs
moans of past woes
...

My lady looks at the end
of a novel or mystery
her expectation fuse
too short, too volatile
...

hallow be this land consecrated
by the blood of fallen heroes,
hallow be their names and deeds
sanctified, blessed and remembered
...

gives birth to little princes
of dates and data of little matter
blown out of proportion by
pompus pedantry
...

flaccid flanks
turned me off
round jutting hams
turned me on
...

there is a circle
turning round and round
which has no corners
...
