When the ocean comes to you as a lover,
marry, at once, quickly,
for God's sake!
Don't postpone it!
Existence has no better gift.
No amount of searching
will find this.
A perfect falcon, for no reason, has landed on your shoulder,
and become yours.
- Rumi (trans. Coleman Barks)
The geometry of innocence flesh on the bone
Causes Galileo’s math book to get thrown
At Delilah who sits worthlessly alone
But the tears on her cheeks are from laughter

Meadow Of Rejuvenation
Head aching from frantic activity
racing all day in the vast city maze
to chase elusive butterfly of wealth,
I stumble outside gates of paradise
to seek calm solace in Neorxnawang,

"One Art" (Elizabeth Bishop)
The art of losing isn’t hard to master;
so many things seem filled with the intent
to be lost that their loss is no disaster.
Lose something every day. Accept the fluster
of lost door keys, the hour badly spent.
The art of losing isn’t hard to master.
Then practice losing farther, losing faster:
places, and names, and where it was you meant
to travel. None of these will bring disaster.
I lost my mother’s watch. And look! my last, or
next-to-last, of three loved houses went.
The art of losing isn’t hard to master.
I lost two cities, lovely ones. And, vaster,
some realms I owned, two rivers, a continent.
I miss them, but it wasn’t a disaster.
—Even losing you (the joking voice, a gesture
I love) I shan’t have lied. It’s evident
the art of losing’s not too hard to master
though it may look like (Write it!) like disaster.

Riddle-Poem 4/7/2025
While venomous serpents are afraid
To venture underneath my shade,
My fragrant fruit invites the dove.
I’m comforting to those above
But menacing to these below.
My ambidextrous branches grow
Where Indian forests’ left-hand light
Casts careful shadows on the right.

Garden Of Secret Love
Though you are not always right by my side
you are always near me within my heart
faithful as the moon I cannot always see,
for you come and go, weaving through my days,
in phases of nearness

How to Tell the Birds from the Flowers and Other Woodcuts by Robert Williams Wood
This collection of poems was inspired by the “War of Naturalists” - an early 20th-century debate over sentimentality versus accuracy in nature writing.
The book uses illustrated poems to draw humorous comparisons between plants and animals with similar names, satirizing the style of nature writing. #satire #poetry
