Genuine Gratitude
Thanks must come within
It cannot be beaten into the head
with a dishtowel having the
words have gratitude sown
into it
Thanks comes with
remembering the place
of God in the human
experience.
That we aren't, no matter
how far we may seem,
insignificant and meaningless
gatherings of matter.
That humanity predates us.

Poetry is important to my life because it gives me a way of saying things I never imagined were in me. My poems deal with all kinds of subjects, my attitude on today's culture, art, corporations, nature, etc. But these aren't the only things that I write about in my poetry. I don't have a favorite poet, but probably Michael McClure is the poet I have learned the most from, from his readings on YouTube.
