A Question For Mr Donne
If no man is truly an island,
does that mean we are all linked
by bridges of hope,
or causeways of despair?

Are we just flecks of dust
on this world--
or is each soul
a universe in the next?...

Divided-We-Fall
The world is becoming
impossible to govern
Each person that island
Donne warned us about

All sense of belonging
in mirrors bespoken 
The strength of shared values
—our vanity flouts

(Dreamsleep: February, 2023)...

Premium Member Pleasure of Translation
Brandywine, so warm and tender,
lends me a touch of pleasure.
veins like ivy, beautiful and green—
love an elixir of tranquility.

Vin de cognac, si chaud et tendre,
me donne une touche de plaisir.
des veines comme le lierre, belles et vertes—
aimer un élixir de tranquillité.

Premium Member Rondelet: No Man Is An
"Each man's death diminishes me,
For I am involved in mankind."
                John Donne

No man is an...
All men need belong in a group
No man is an...
Stand alone: the group will you ban
Can stray warped strands make sails droop
The lone man drowns (swims) in his own soup
No man is an...

John Donne Strikes Again
Dark clouds: emptiness abides.
White clouds: emptiness abides.
See yourself through these windows of the world.
What are you waiting for?
Remember, we stopped using 'for whom' years ago.
Yet, John Donne still rings true.
Just ask.
"Yes, I say.  Just simply ask to toll the bell,
        for the bell is you, ringing, ringing simply you."...

Demain
Il revient toujour

il ne reveint pas aujourd'hui

c'est lui qui donne le bijou

comme le cadeau depuis

 

l'horloge lui meme

n s'arretes que l'homme

il fait comme il faut

mias, il donne des cadeaux

 

ses cadeaux  c'est  pour

l'homme de tous les jours

qui fait comme il faut

 

l/horloge conduit

demain donne le bataeu

et, l'homme s'assieds...

Lost Lanky Ink
eerie syllables spanked
by tainted trance
nocturnal nature puked
bounty boo blew
hoisting haggard rhymes
porous perfection chided 

life like limb
lusty labium crippled
vying velocity tripped

dark days damped
traced gullible dance
drooling death pat 

pulpy pen dripped
lost lanky ink.

No Man Is An Island
You speak to my spirit with logic,
I answer your mind from my soul

With words in two disparate languages,
our discourse to never be whole

Your left hemisphere sealed in a vacuum,
when my right hemisphere comes to call

Though Donne said, “No Man Is An Island”
—you’re marooned there adrift toward the falls

Whitman wrote of a great Captain
                             Keats Ode A Nightingale
                             Frost took The Road Not Taken
                             Donne knew For Whom The Bell Tolls
                             Thomas raged against The Dying Of The Light

                              Like Poe's Raven they are Nevermore,
                              But their works live on evermore....

To England - a Poem By: Richard Brautigan
There are no postage stamps that send letters
back to England three centuries ago,
no postage stamps that make letters
travel back until the grave hasn't been dug yet,
and John Donne stands looking out the window,
it is just beginning to rain this April morning,
and the birds are falling into the trees
like chess pieces into an unplayed game,
and John Donne sees the postman coming up the street,
the postman walks very carefully because his cane
is made of glass....
