| He's a bit off That one Writes poetry Observes the passing throng Passing judgment On what's wrong Pushing virtue And venture And all that out-dated stuff. Isn't Wikipedia good enough? He told a friend Sleep gets interrupted By a line Or a cadence Or an image. Often talking to himself At work Distracted jerk. Thinks a Heavenly input Pens the lines. Dances with beat And rhymes And Something beyond Himself Long assigned to the shelf. By most of us. Browning, an old one Of like art Wrote of the passing Of a village bard. Said he watched and mused At others driven, confused And passed some lines To Duke and Court. Hurt, hope or good report. A man thought wise To philosophize. But we're beyond that. No? |

| Thanks OEW. You know about the times of dryness and obscurity. We are privileged as poets if ever allowed to touch mercy and other things inscrutable. Have been looking this morning at Psalms 33 and 66 and 99. Hhhmm. |
