Some of us are just intimidated, realizing any poem we might post would
never live up....(or that every poem we know everyone here already has
memorized).
Julie Krueger
thinking of Sexton, Neruda, Paz, Rilke, Celan.....oh, and the Polish woman
whose name I can never repeat or type properly .....and all my saved poetry of
hers is on my other computer that died, and I loved her poem "Grace" so much,
as well as others of hers, but since I can't type her name I can't google
her and that wonderful poetry site Redfrog left probably for reasons of
copyright issues some time ago, and then Sharon Olds.....and Wild Geese
Flying, who
is that ....Mary Oliver ......

Having waited all morning--I'm doing taxes and not to be distracted--for
someone to compliment Mirembe for starting so well, I can wait no longer.
Were she not running a taxi service and putting the world to right
diplomatically, she would perhaps be wondering whether she had laid an egg.
No, no, Mirembe, hooray, hooray.
Whoops. Not allowed hurrahs on this list, are we? My prose seems to have
taken an Orange Sardine turn.
