Perhaps One Day
Perhaps one day, there will be a season
beyond all reason when men and women
alike will gather up their old and worn
similes and metaphors and storied allegories
like hand me down clothes and going
door to door to door provide a smile as broad
as a canyon with eyes deeps as human understanding.
Perhaps one day, we able able to see
the we in you and the me as you
and I draw great and wonderful murals
of picture words and word pictures
across the vast and endless tomorrows.
Perhaps one day, there will be not just
individuals with pens and ink wells
waiting on the next fragment of rhyme
to filter through the ether, but an entire
nation , no world, of poets will arise
to form a tapestry, a rainbow, a bridge
to cross. Come walk with me.

Evening Time
It is as though Titian or Rembrandt
has painted the western horizon
with lazy steel gray clouds
and dusty yellow light
lifted by an ever falling orange orb
The setting comes and brushes
are put away as the canvas
turns black and empty.

Somewhere
Somewhere in time there is a rhyme
and a reason but still the spring
goes and there is little reason
to go on and speculate on the
cost of errant fish at the
fishmongers or the cost
of a new sole at the shoe
repair shop. Nothing
matters. It is as if
there were a star filled
tumbler of milk and
you, having had your
fill of celestial wonders,
pick up the glass , and in one
swooping motion, upend
the universe onto the newly
waxed linoleum.

Curiosity Box by Peter M. Gordon
Curiosity Box
by Peter M. Gordon
Searching far corners at a garage sale
I find an old California job case
Filled with a life’s small souvenirs
With a grey rag I excavate accumulated dust
Unearth a bright green Volkswagen beetle key ring
Thumbnail sized ivory and beige seashells
Brown lions with painted manes lie beside
White plastic lambs and mottled deer…

Poetic Propositions – from NPR

Hello Friends
My world and welcome to it – That was a great show back in the 70s or so – story line revolved around James Thurber played by William Windom – For those of you that were not born then – here is the 1969 NBC Promo for the show http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5MU7CPMtqE
So as I prepare to head off to bed here momentarily – I am thinking of Shakespeare
“Sleep that knits up the ravelled sleave of care
The death of each day’s life, sore labour’s bath
Balm of hurt minds, great nature’s second course,
Chief nourisher in life’s feast.”-William Shakespeare, Macbeth
