A little something from Charles Bukowski, in anticipation of the State of the Union address in a few hours:

i knew that i was dying.
something in me said, go ahead, die, sleep, become
them, accept.
then something else in me said, no, save the tiniest
bit.
it needn't be much, just a spark.
a spark can set a whole forest on
fire.
just a spark.
save it.

Poetry's fun! And I think we're building a pretty cool collection of some very stuff, though I wish more people would post things, or post some of their own work.

I'm gonna post my poem "Shadows of Fern Hill" kind of loosely based on "Fern Hill" later tonight...

Go for it! That's half the reason Jason started the thread! I'll throw in a few more of my prose sonnets in a bit.
