PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

[to Patriciajj---whose Poetry declares the

cosmic grandeur with profound wisdom; my

poem could not have been written without

your magnificent Poem, "Earth Cry"]

Atoms of which all

things consist emerged with the

Cosmos, or in stars'

cores, fused:  this suggests kinship

of all the cosmos contains.

Bullies, cockroaches;

stones, seashells, stars;  any two

lovers; Poets and

starwatchers; cherry blossoms,

and spring's mists:  all share kinship.

Lucretius---long poems

fail this.  Haiku, Senryu,

Tanka and Sijo

convey this effectively---

intimations, like seasons'.

Stars, cherry blossoms,

and mists express the Cosmos'

grandeur---undiffused

across long poems' ambitions;

well preserved by brief glimpses.
