The Portable Poet

THE PORTABLE POET

The portable poet writes
wherever he goes
On backs of envelopes
Poems-perhaps prose.

A poet is blessed in old age
He can write a few lines
And feel he is alive

A Rejected Poem

A REJECTED POEM

A rejected Poem
hid itself inside,
and said,
'I will never let them see me
again.'

Oh Sadness is and Sadness More
What is worse

The Poem Is The Poet's Life

THE POEM IS THE POET’S LIFE

The Poem is the Poet’s life
He dies in silence
When he does not write.

I write and write/ And little poems come

I WRITE AND WRITE

I write and write
And little poems come -
I am happy with my life
I write and write.

It Is Gone

It is gone
It will never return
My time of strength

And what remains?
Old old age
More feeble and afraid
