Poets/Poetesses/Poits:  Persistent, isn't/aren't she/they?
A Bit of Emily...

  Shall I take thee, The Poet said
  To the propounded word?
  Be stationed with the Candidates
  Till I have finer tired -

  The Poet searhed Philology
  And when about to ring
  For the suspended Candidate
  There came unsummoned in -

  That portion of the Vision
  The Word applied to fill
  Not unto nomination
  The Cherubim reveal -


     -- Emily Dickinson's Poem's
     (Final Harvest,
        ed/sel by: Thomas H. Johnson)

(Ah Emily!  If ever there was the true
            incantation of the spirt of
            the muses, 'tis she, indeed.
            In deed, 
                      in spirit, 
                                   in elan.

Remainder of the File is just some blurble that seems persistent

A Brief Note for Non-poets that see no sense
in all of this.  (The ONLY appology you'll
ever get from me)...

(for the rest uv us,
there is no more that need be said,
in any century or year un-bound,
or even in quiet-moments (in deepest intro-spection .


*(|and all of you know HOW i yearned to hyphen-ate and re-phrase

But.

Here I am.
Just a lowley editor.


   There is no greater way,
   there is nothing more to say.

   And THEY (the editors, and the right-speakers)

   (and in our lessened (lesson-ed) century,
   thne
              time

   In our era : the pol-iti-cally correct.

   I (damn) them and their way -- even if I (truely) mean my soul

      -- as if she would take a poet's soul
         from her or him whilst composting

   com-posit-ing :: words as best can be "true"


   No.

(sigh, deee-p   deep sigh):


   No poet ever has , nor will ever-be can, do
   or not can not do:


    No one through-out any universe (not EVEN ours)

    can ever tell more treu

    than Emilly did.

    When "angel's child"  "whispered in Her ear"

    and word came to page as un-spent meteor thru atmosphere

    carrying a message from God:


                  Leave the smagging poet's alone !!!!


          [ From this (your editor surmises)
             that

              (a) God got plenty more meteors.
              (b) God REALLY tired for self-serving peoople -- in
                  office or not.
              (c) god got "stuff" tuh due.
          ]

          So there it is then:
