    Poem Commentary

    One of my really grumpy days......

    Untitled (4 Haiku)



    Broken wine glasses

    on the floor, shattered, scattered,

    so unlike before.

     

    The gas lamps are dead,

    the light that they shed unseen,

    but only the walls

     

    can hear my whispers,

    calling, calling to the wind,

    the wind so silent,

     

    so silent like me,

    so angry like me in my

    ceaseless flow of wrath.

    JACOB, An interesting moment of weakness when all that gets to us gets shattered. Great angst revealed here.

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
