I put an euro 75
on a collection of Ashbury,
collected poems,
the poetry is not sold,
the poets either,
I open a page at random,
some pulp of stars
saddened my minds,
understand who seeks,
all the pages are pure fate,
they are worth more than an euro 75,
this book is not a moneybox,
we save dreams there,
my money blooms
as tulips in a garden,
Short of form and of currency
I close the book,
my poem worth more than 10 centimes.

effective 'write' !

sadly ... 'poetry' is pretty much dead to this double-post modern world ...
certainly amid the "Runaway American Dream" ... "P.I.P.-land" is but
an island in a sea of greed and ever raging mindlessness.

You said this so beautifully, dear Yann! This book just waited for you to appreciate it.

To open a poetry book at random is something I love to do too. Almost always I find just what I needed in that moment.

Love and ... go to "Discussion - Announcement & links" and see your Birthday post! Hope you had a wonderful day!

A thoughtful write as always. Fine writing, Yann.

You make me want to touch the pages and feel the words.
