Like They Say

Underneath the tree on some
soft grass I sat, I

watched two happy
woodpeckers be dis-

turbed by my presence. And
why not, I thought to

myself, why
not.

-Robert Creeley (1926-)

Utopia?

So this is utopia,
Is it? Well -
I beg your pardon;
I thought it was Hell

- Max Beerbohm

Rainbow's End

When we see a rainbow
We count colors
I think not
But when rainbows appear
I feel that says a lot
When love comes our way
Do we know that it will last
It's probably that rainbow
I spoke of with it's colors cast
Love does that to you now and again
If it's true love
That rainbow is just around the bend
And that love you find
Will be your rainbow to the end

- Robert Emmett Tansey
