Glass by Robert Francis
Words of a poem should be glass But glass so simple-subtle its shape Is nothing but the shape of what it holds. A glass spun for itself is empty, Brittle, at best Venetian trinket. Embossed glass hides the poem of its absence. Words should be looked through, should be windows. The best word were invisible. The poem is the thing the poet thinks. If the impossible were not, And if the glass, ...

She Didn’t Mean To Do It by Daisy Fried
Oh, she was sad, oh, she was sad. She didn’t mean to do it. Certain thrills stay tucked in your limbs, go no further than your fingers, move your legs through their paces, but no more. Certain thrills knock you flat on your sheets on your bed in your room and you fade and they fade. You falter and they’re gone, gone, gone. Certain thrills puff off you like smoke rings, some like bell rings...

An Invitation by Shel Silverstein
If you are a dreamer, come in. If you are a dreamer, a wisher, a liar, A hope-er, a pray-er, a magic bean buyer … If you’re a pretender, come sit by my fire, For we have some flax golden tales to spin. Come in! Come in!

You did not build me for solitaire by Bradley...
Inspired by a friend; she is golden.. Introductory line by Li Po in “The River Song” translated by Ezra Pound.
Five clouds hang aloft, bright on purple sky; blue steel harshly glints, on an aged Chevy’s hubs and the wind rushes through her straight thin hair.
She closes her eyes soft the wind words whispered float around like lilies the unbroken things no longer hers.
So sorrowful...
