Paper Tomb

Scholars squander sunny days
Coffined in their cloistered nooks,
Where a wise man never stays
Buried, bored, by books.

Steve died in 2014 and I miss him. I wish there were some way to drive readers to his old Poetry Soup page, but sad fact is, no one sees much here unless it was posted within the hour. Kinda like Facebook yesterday's posts, let alone yesteryears, might as well not exist.
