Letters To A Young Poet

New lines

August 6, 1998 — Filed under: mypoems

New lines, fine green vines So nice to try new wines Dynasty provisions coat lives Chaining loneliness to desire To Fairness on fear And the search for greater things Being the way things have to fall In a child’s eye in 30 minutes Or less if the rash persists But the chalk lines fade Running colors in wet fall afternoon Flowing in radiant beauty So much in one afternoon So little concern for the following days Weeks too far for conformation Care in only for present Divine bliss of youth, joy and timelessness
