"Poetry leads us to the unstructured sources of our beings, to the unknown, and returns us to our rational, structured selves refreshed. Having once experienced the mystery, plenitude, contradiction, and composure of a work of art, we afterward have a built-in resistance to the slogans and propaganda of oversimplification that have often contributed to the destruction of human life. Poetry is a verbal means to a nonverbal source. It is a motion to no-motion, to the still point of contemplation and deep realization." -- A. R. Ammons
Poems, daily. Mostly English, alas. Please submit!
When this dam goes another will follow.
No amount of rainfall deters me from
what I am borne to do.
That tree, the sculptured one
was only practice.
I spooled the bottom in three days
upon the fourth I took its limbs.
All wood was meant mine
so long as I have reason.
What reason has he
to take ample,
make scarce?
