Do not underestimate a man whose back is on the ground,for he has naught to lose except his life.

Winter awakens all my care
as leafless trees grow bare.
For now my sighs are fraught
whenever it enters my thought:
regarding this world's joy,
how everything comes to naught.
('This World's Joy' anonymous Middle English poem, loose translation by Michael R. Burch)

To The Poets In Me- Written all for not* Why edit the knot* His inkings for naught* Poems lost in a thought* Resigned to being taught* His lefties are taut* A righty is sought* He foots all he's got*

"For me it's not the inner scientist, it's the inner poet that's exited...It's such a beautiful thing." -Dr Marek Kukula (astronomer). This is what I understand. If I can EVER write anything that becomes a conduit for this understanding, I will feel I have bridged the gap between science and art with the possibility we are left in awe. It is from this place of awe that we ask questions and seek to know the larger or diminutive picture. Let us always remain curiouser and curiouser. -Edlynn Nau

The Way is like an Oasis. One may lend you past The Way. If One does not stop and drink for oneself, it is like One never found The Way. Then it is naught but a Mirage, a fabled Oasis. -LEEL-

For the beauty that is within; naught can be bought, sold or replaced. True love is art, art of immeasurable worth.

What it is to be famous...
is to still be unknown,
but now, by everyone.

A good memory is a blessing, because you never forget anything. A good memory is a curse because you never forget anything.

All Art is in Constant Transition: it is not static! Rather than keeping it forever in the decade it was written, give it something new to wear! There are very few TRUE masterpieces that stand the test of time. Even Van Gogh would STILL be tweaking his paintings! -E. Nau

Notice, when one sends their poetry out into the universe to be read and heard, at once, people become illiterate and deaf! -Edlynn Nau, 2015

A book of poetry is not unlike a fruitcake, both are used for doorstops. -Edlynn Nau, 2015
