from THE OLD POET SAYS
The poets and the priest -
“Enough!” he shouts,
and still we sing.
*
“All day long
the poet
complains
of noise.
All night
he sings.”
*
“For non-
sense, swing
wide of
silence.”
Saturday, February 01, 2014
from THE OLD POET SAYS
“Not so much
silence as
the emptiness
of words.”
*
“The poet
is no better
than the poem,
though the poem
can be better
than we are.”
*
“What does
a poem mean?
Biscuits
and butter.”
