Kryss I know of but I haven't read any of his stuff, regrettably.

Say, do you by any chance write poetry, too?
No sir, I write doggerel.

No gotta "regret," google.
Tom is a dear friend with a soul unique to this planet.
Kinda, Ferlinghetti with a deeper gaia.
Worth reading.


Same with levy.

If, you are older than 50 ,and still remember the "bad old days" when they killed poets in Ohio. And still give a rat's ass, that is.
Wasn't always "pretty" but it was spot on for it's time.


But paul Simon is often ignored as a poet.

"casting shivering shadow on the houses through the trees"

always grabs me.
And.

"The train is gone, suddenly,
on wheels clicking silently,
Like a gently tapping litany,
As he holds his crayon rosary,
tighter in his hand.-

-----

a single word,
a poem ,
comprising four letters.
---
Then his heart is laughing, screaming, bright,
his legs take their eccentric flight,
to seek the breast of darkness,
and be suckled by the night."


Gives me goosebumps.


Guess I'm easy.

Aloha,

Wee, tiny, itty bitty, Leezard.
