A Powerful Poet
by Joe CramerI wanted to be a Powerful Poet
and am too frail in my sensibilities.
Crying at Romantic Comedies
Preferring Shakespeare, wouldn't you just know it?
To be more like Robinson Jeffers, I end up like a weakened Ogden Nash
Though my poems are a conundrum, something like corn-beef hash.
So, in my ever succinct Dickinsonian attempt at verse
Nothing worse
Can be said
For all of these random, futile thoughts that flit in my head. 02/11/2008 Author's Note: ... good thing I plan on keeping the day job....

I loaned it to someone years ago and never got it back. His Hurt Hawk is one of my favorite poems. I know he was kind of "black listed" because of his views during WII but I still love his writing. Keep up the good work. |
