“Poems can be found,
if they’re looked for,
addressing every realm
of what in our lives
can feel broken….
Every truly good poem
has in it, somewhere,
an anchor dropped down into wholeness.”

reality
the now
without tainted bias
coincidence, happening, occurrence, incident
wholeness

Poem: (madrigal)
.
would I, could I, should I lie
only God knows the real truth
those bad habits we learned as a youth
a habitual liar makes me want to cry
repeating a fib is very uncouth
would I, could I, should I lie
only God knows the real truth
if my nose grows, will I be the bad guy
to undress the lie will take a real sleuth
as painful as pulling a wisdom tooth
would I, could I, should I lie
only God knows the real truth
those bad habits we learned as a youth
