THREE from
THE OLD POET SAID
THE OLD POET SAID
“Words,” he said, “they will
talk you to death
if you let them.”
*
“Most of the time,”
the poet said,
“it sounds like
turkeys talking.
But listen hard,
you'll hear
the poem.”
*
“You can't plan the poem,”
the poet said, “but you can
plan to be ready
when the poem comes.”
