On a balmy day of early autumn
I decided, out of unexplained curiosity,
to search for Socrates' poems on line.
I went to a popular website of poetry
that features thousands of renowned
as well as little known poets.
When I typed into the search window
the name of Socrates,
the following intelligence appeared
under the "Poems" section:
"This poet did not post
any poems within the last 14 days."
Why? Is it possible
that Plato is involved
in a new anti-poetry plot?
Why would Socrates not post any poems
within the last 14 days?
Or could the reason be, perhaps,
that Socrates suffers from
a serious and enduring writing block,
resulting from his personal situation,
namely, as certain reports claim,
that he died 25 centuries ago.
This poem has not been translated into any other language yet.
I would like to translate this poem
