THIS POEM CAME TO ME
This poem came to me
After I had woken.
...
A POEM WANTS ME
A poem wants me-
I want to walk up the hill
...
IF YOU WANT A POEM SO MUCH
If you want a poem so much
Your life will become one,
...
A POEM NEEDS A BEAUTY OF ITS OWN
The Beauty of the World
We see with our eyes
...
SHAKESPEARE, WHERE ARE YOU? (FOR HAROLD BLOOM)
Shakespeare, where are you?
You should be living at this hour.
...
AND IF I WRITE ANOTHER POEM?
And if I write another poem?
What will it change?
...
NOTHING IS DONE
Nothing is done
No poem is written
...
THE POEM IS A METAPHOR / FOR WHATEVER THE POET NEEDS IT TO BE
The Poem is a Metaphor
For whatever the poet needs it to be-
...
I HAVE BECOME A POEM
I have become a poem
And all I say and think
...
