! ! A Cummingsy Poemish In Praise Of A Poetry Seminar Poem by Michael Shepherd

many ways
on Sattwadays
in which to praise

e.g. a rose –
in careful prose;
awe for better
or full worse
in poetry, unjust
in verse..

be it even
heartfelt curse
on mind,
to find

that when, all roses
come and gone,
a tension rested,
paused upon,

and though Observer
comes and goes,
a roseful's still
a noseful rose;

yet, all we met
together where
our somehow knew
a hereful ‘there’..
