"If Wishes Would Bide, Beggars Would Ride"

The poet is he who can write some pure mythology today without the aid of posterity.- Thoreau

i wish they'd grow poetry in fields

and carved into hearts and trees

along with reese's peanut butter cups in packages of threes

Author's Note

"Yet poetry, though the last and finest result, is a natural fruit. As naturally as the oak bears an acorn, and the vine a gourd, man bears a poem, either spoken or done. It is the chief and most memorable success, for history is but a prose narrative of poetic deeds. - Thoreau
