In spires
bells are ringing
gathering all who hear
to share their thoughts about the world
with us

When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the areas of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
John Fitzgerald Kennedy



Kindness is a seed sown by the gentlest hand, growing care's flowers.

past tents
pitch campy thoughts
of wooded vacations
where fireside toasts kept us warm
moon's glow

at least the lessor has thought it
