The Deep Well

remembering nostalgic days when
idealists aspiring to feel zen
would immerse in ink their fountain pen
to inscribe deep poems now and then

Line, does this fall into your zen category or short poems category? Both, I suppose. Great nostalgic write ~ John

Line, your poem reminds me of the '60s and '70s, when idealists were writing poems against the war in Vietnam. Stunning, my friend. Surely a contest winner! Hugs, Carolyn
