Believe me - I am not the best Jew in the world
I have read AJ Heschel though
Who marched with MLK
Nice to have peace between the black and Jewish communities
One of my first girl friends was an Afro American
She pretty
But we were both only 16
Recently I was "dumped " by a Jewish chick
Well, she is not into poetry too much anyway
I am not Bilbo Baggins
Don't live in a hole in the ground
Perhaps I can find my soul - mate here is the Big Apple!!
Or perhaps not
Keep writing verse all you out there in the darkness!!!
Poetry does not have to be political to be good
But verse can change people's hearts about things
political
In the good old USA the Democrats and Republicans are gearing up for the big
battle
In the land of Israel elections take place tomorrow
Other lands have relatively free elections as we
Who will win?
How much does it matter?
"Happy Days are Here Again" is the song of
the great FDR days
Write a song or poem for you candidates
you people reading this out in the darkness
Poltics can be annoying
but it is a part of life in which I take an intrest
Do you out there?
Let me know what you think!
Soon the Jewish New Year will come
And after the the secular New Year will take place
Whatver you think of the political scene out there
I send along my best wishes
I watched as the Mets slammed the opposition 10 -2
Been a fan for years
Played catcher for a little while as a kid
Watching sports is a great way to take your mind off
The terrible things we see in the news
Make a little money from writing
and check my stocks periodically
Some people think ballplayers are overpaid
They all make more than the President does
But sports are good for male bonding
Any females who love sports poetry
Please write me!
Life is very short
Shorter than we would wish for
Find peace with your poems
After years of psychotherapy
Same
Man
We poets despise money
That is what some people say and think
However despite being a poet
I do play the scratch off lottery at times
I won $40 and more recently $10
I felt good
As a poet should
When counting his or her cash
Won by guile or work
Almost came to an end
So peace and love is what I send
Poetry won't make you rich
And revising is such a *****
But I send out these free verse lines
In the hope that at times
You'll gaze at my verse
And for better or worse
You'll know what I think
Poetry is safer than drink
Should you encounter an ode
of mine in the News
Please give some thought
to what I have wrought
You can appreciate it - even without any booze
Raining today
in the big apple
Yes, this metropolis is still here
Despite the
fact
that
we
have
been attacked
Yes, the masses of people
still long to visit
this "Baghdad on the Hudson"
as O.Henry named it
It is not Paris, Tel Aviv or London
But it is the place
I call home
Personally I think this city
will survive ,flourish and grow
