Random Selections of Poetry

No, these aren't randomly created poems (that is another page). This is a random grab from a selection of poems, mostly by myself, but with some inclusions from other folks: friends who write; friends who used to write; writers who are obscure-but-meaningful-to-me; famous writers. One advantage of this format is that, when there are variations of a poem that I haven't settled upon, I can include them all and let people give me feedback as to what they think.



     Infinity is hard to grasp
"How many stars are out there?"
     Until you have stared him 
 in the face
"What are all the sounds of every voice?"
            And sat down with him
 for tea,
"How long is time?"
         then a stroll in the park
 and
"How many ways to love?"
    a game of chess.  Stand up, shake
 hands
"What are the wasy to say ``I'm sorry''?"
      go home and take a long, cool
 drink from the mirror.

                                    -- (92/93, as printed in Pathways)
