The Five Laws of Poetry (being a take off of Ranganathan’s Five Laws of Library Science)

 1. Poetry is for use, for reading, reciting, and study.

 2. Poetry is universal. There is a poem for every person.

 3. Every person can understand poetry with effort.

 4. Poems should be short enough to convey the message.

 5. Poetry as a literary genre is a growing organism.

Blood moon rising
cherry blossoms
blooming &
I’m outta Zertec.

The weatherman said
it might snow tonight.
And I don’t know
if I am early or late …

no time for poems
this week
and yet poetry
still oozes :)
out of my pen
out of my right hand
out of my soul

Princeton decides U.G Gov’t is not a democracy:
no new news there, Ivy League buster,
not for those never invited to the table
to sip slowly of the purple Kool Ade.      

But isn’t oligarchy what the Russians have?
Where very few rich people control the many,
and every official is bought and paid for,
and voting is a joke? A sham?         

But that’s not what we are. Oh no! 
Russia’s theory is economic elite domination,
and ours is biased pluralism. Right, buster. 
All the same in the wash, Princeton. Thanks.
