And now in the night in the general conflagration the white light still consuming us small clowns with our little tapers held to the flame......fine ideology. Beautiful poem. It is nice to be chosen this poem as the modern poem of the poem of the day.

Ash of poetry! ! ! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.

as a fan of poetry, and particularly a fan of ferlinghetti my favorite beat poet, it's interesting to read this reflection on the work of poets. another poem of his on the subject, which begins, " constantly risking absurdity..." comes to mind. we write in part because we have to, in part to communicate, but who will see our flames in the vast landscape that is earth and time and all the poets who write now and written before us? -glen
