Midweek Poems – As I read this

I’m down

With some contemporaries of mood.

My favorite pessimists:

Kurt Vonnegut,

Rod McKuen.

love of others,

love of self:

Intertwined and misdirected!

I’m up!

Only to the wish

of clouds.

Notes: I fondly remember this period as one of great creativity. I was reading and writing all sorts of things… doing lots of painting and finding time to make some found object art (long since lost or given away). It was a period of having a voracious appetite for reading and having time to read.
