I Like Things Which Appear

If Bitterness Wants To Get Into The Act, I Offer It A Cookie Or A Gumdrop.

And To Shakespeare I Owe My Vision Of The World As A Theater, Wherein All Humans Are Acting Out Their Parts.

You're Closer To Your Glory Leaping An Abyss Than Re-upholstering A Rut.

For Me A Poem Has To Sing Out Of Itself And The Lilt Of It Carries The Magic.

Most Poets, Like Most People, Try Hard To Be Like Someone They Admire Or They Are Possessed With An Image Of What They Ought To Be.
