THREE OLD MONK POEMS (405) 


THE NAIL MIGHT

The nail might
 make the hole

but it's the wood
that holds on

and won't let go,
the old monk said.

HOW MUCH

How much do you
have to cross out
to get one good word,

the old monk
asked the poet.

~

YOU CAN HIDE

You can hide
many of them
but not all,

so let me see
what you've got,
the old monk said.
