Peaceful Light

Evening is drawing on in the metropolis cars rushing by on the FDR Drive remind me that we live in a mechanical wonderland My flesh yearns for the touch of women flesh The years have seen us change, friends Hearts beating in the metropolitan evening lead us to draw conclusions Not always pleasant ones Poets from all over the world have their work in New York's Poets House Visitors drop in for a casual look at the work of the masters old and new Young poetic voices are added to the worldly symphony of public lines Where witness is made to some of the treacheries and brightest hopes of mankind

It is indeed a wonderful place. They have classes, events and a once a year Poetry Walk across the Brooklyn Bridge where a poetess read Whitman's "Crossing Brooklyn Ferry". I have been volunteering there for a number of years. If you are ever in NYC you should drop by. They have a library of over 60,000 poetry volumes. My chapbook - Starlight is in the showcase this July. Peace & Blessings Matthew Anish
