THREE OLD MONK POEMS (447) 


WHEN SADNESS

When sadness
makes you happy --

that's very sad,
the old monk said.

~

IT'S NOT

It's not a gulag
on the mountain --

they're hermits
by choice,

the old monk said.

~

IF IT STAYS

If it stays by your feet
and eats burnt toast

give it some milk,
the old monk said.
