For a guy who doesn't do poetry, I seem to be reading a lot of it. It's all Garrison Keillor's fault. He read What She Said and I was hooked. Click through and read it and you will be too. So, I rushed right out to my local Amazon bookmark and got a copy of the book that contained the poem.I liked a lot of the poems. I read it through, twice, just to make sure I didn't miss anything, and bookmarked several of them. There's a lot to like in Collins, who was the US poet laureate from 2001 to 2003.
Once I get done with the novels in my queue, I might try my hand at a few stanzas. Here's a sample of a poem I wrote fifteen years ago.
The earthworm has a bunch of heartsYou're welcome.
Which makes him romantic, sorta
I would have to be one giant heart
To love you like aorta

told you.
What? You break a year of radio silence to say I told you so?
That's the power of invoking Keillor & Collins in the same prayer. Also,I like to be right.
Prayer?
Hymn, then?
"post" if you must, but I thought being technical was your day job...
