Poetry. Food for the mind, food for the soul. It’s pleasure to read poetry, to discover the many ways of exploring our world through the insights of poets, all the way from Shakespeare to John Clare to Ginsberg to just plain fun …
A DIET OF WORDS
if poems be the food of love
let them be served on every plate
sautéed in wine and served on gold
does the rhymester catch a comma
and use it for a porridge spoon
or leave a couplet drowning
in her morning cup of coffee?
should half rhyme be an early snack
gulped down while munching after noon
until rhythm beats its steady drum
in laden soup bowls and hungry poets
chase metaphors through stoic meals
where endless adverbs are served up hot
and my poems be tasty as an apricot
