Words Xx1x

Lines, lines, lines
At times sublime,
Or perhaps crude,
Their words food
For the mind, mind,
But what is between,
Can at times be seen,
So much better..
Than the whole letter,
Of these lines, lines, lines.




For Nikko's contest

Hey Robert! Yes, it has been a while. I've simply reached a period where my poetic inspiration seems rather sparce and other states of mind have settled in and occupied my imagination. Thomas Aquinas, of course, exactly something we would expect from his marvelous mind. No one coluld have said it better, more matter-of-factly and simplistically. For a 13th century philosopher, he was centuries before his time. Thanks for contacting me my email is ramrod at usa.com. Email me. Jim
