Gems

Like gold,
you find them
where you find them;
faster, the harder
you dig.
People, books,
ideas, poems
and songs,
there at the opening
of a mouth,
a door, a book,
a heart,
that change you
forever.
Keep mining,
brothers and sisters:
these pickings
be rich.

  1. Mike, this is your old neighbor from Keller St, in the Burg. I saw a posting from an old friend of mine named Sue Hadden, and found your site. Your poetry is amazing. I will mark this under favorites! I am guessing that life in TN has been good to you? It is a beautiful part of the country. Peace to you, and wave at us the next time you are in the neighborhood! ~Wendy
