I think your poems better. It made me laugh so much

[Idlinfarm]

I'm reading your poems. They are amazing! Write more. What a beautiful, truthful spirit you have. I think you would have loved being in Boulder, Colorado in the 70's when Allen Ginsberg was head of the School for Disembodied Poetics at Naropa Institute. I loved Allen. He was fun and terribly interesting. He let me do an apprenticeship with him when I wrote why I wanted do--I told him I'd been married to an old fag. Enjoy yourself. Ida

Soon. I have been in Colorado and will be back home today. My son-in-law gets the New York Times and there has been good coverage of 'Our Generation,' the CD of the Zimmers. When is your next poem coming along? Best wishes.

I just read this, and I want to share it with you. . . By: Charlie Daniels: A brief candle; both ends burning An endless mile; a bus wheel turning A friend to share the lonesome times A handshake and a sip of wine So say it loud and let it ring We are all a part of everything The future, present and the past Fly on proud bird You're free at last. written en route to a funeral.

"over this, Your white Grave" Over this, your white grave the flowers of life in white - so many years without you - how many have passed out of sight? Over this your white grave coveredcovered for years, there is a stir in the air, something uplifting and, like death, beyond comprehension. Over this your white grave og, mother, can such loving cease? for all his fillial adoration a prayer. Give her eternal peace. (Written by Karol Wojtyla, - otherwise, John Paul II)

Myself when young did eagerly frequent

Doctor and Saint, and heard great Argument

About it and; but evermore

Came out by the Door as in I went.

By Omar Khayyam, verse 27. often my bedtime reading.

I learned to write poetry whilst I was still at school. Don't ask me how long ago, I can't even remember what I had for breakfast mtoday;)
