Matthew Anish Poet I do not know?

A Poem About a Woman and a Card Show

The boxes are filled 
      with cards
and the people are 
       milling about
  Seems like another card 
show is taking place
    here in the heartland
of the Amish 
     tomorrow a church 
Monday, a Seder
   Collecting cards 
definitely 
   keeps one sane
and so do puzzles 
   Is love a game? 
That is another question altogether

Carolyn Devonshire April 4, 2010 at 6:36 AM Puzzles occupy the mind and DO help keep us sane by providing a welcome distraction. Interesting image of the Amish "in the heartland," Matthew. Wishing you a Happy Easter, Carolyn

Andrea Dietrich April 3, 2010 at 6:45 PM Matt, I think I never got back with you on the last comment message you made to me. I TOO am an ESL teacher, specialty in teaching TOEFL but also I teach all the levels and all aspects of ESL. Yes,I certainly do remember Tears of a clown. Loved it! OH, to be back in the early 70's!! Luv, Andrea

Ian D. Campbell March 30, 2010 at 9:51 AM I am always enticed about a poem which hints to its poet's private experience. There is no need for an elaboration. Very well done.

Andrea Dietrich March 30, 2010 at 12:19 AM ps I forgot to tell you, Apocolypto was a really cool movie about the end of the mayan civilization when Eurpeans arrived in their land. It's a very exciting visual movie by Mel Gibson, and Jaguar Paw was the main character (I think)It's been several years since I saw it and wrote that triolet. Try to see it!

Andrea Dietrich March 30, 2010 at 12:17 AM Not sure I understand this one, but it sounds cool. I just saw the movie about the Amish and how they acted with such grace in the aftermath of the shooting at their schoolhouse. Thanks for reading my poem today. LUv,Andrea
