Indeed, but the lessons must be passed down, or they will be forgotten. And they must be recognized, lest we continue to oblivion.

I agree! You don't need (please pardon the language, but this sums it up) swinging XXXX credentials to write poetry. However, i do believe poetry is a discipline that requires an understanding of verse and restraint. I love your blogger page btw. Good writing!

And on this Memorial Day Weekend......

ARLINGTON, LOT 60

Taps.
No other song
more haunting.
Brings forth
wails of mothers,
young brides,
broken dreams.
And the most chilling,
stoic teardrops cascading
in silence,
somber regret
for commands ordered,
words never uttered.
Flowers,
photos,
trinkets,
upon otherwise uniform stone
Youngsters
naively dance
upon the saddest acre,
reminding us all
that life will go on,
regardless of whether
we learn
from our mistakes.

A Cosmo Poem

Cosmopolitan Confessions

Fan of the frou-frou,
fruity concoctions,
I confess
to enjoy the caress
of the chilled stem,
licking fine sweet crystals
from the rim of my lemon drop
martini,
wondering perhaps
if the cool gentleman
across the bar
knows
a room full of kisses
awaits
should he notice.
Alas,
I order another—
dirty
with extra olives.
