    More Poetry

    When I was looking through my old poems for friday's bonanza, I came across a little one I wrote when I was taking British Literature after 1800. We had just read "Ode on a Grecian Urn" by John Keats, and it inspired me more that the other poetry I was reading. I wrote this response, and it was promptly buried under all the drivel I was prodeucing back in the "Frosh Period". Looking at it now, I think I like it.

    "Urn"
    Keats, you have
    your urn
    but me?
    I have no ashtray
    to rhapsodize
    no painted jar
    to show me constancy
    or beauty
    there is no art
    no nature
    that can comfort death
    with this pen
    shimmering blue-hard
    in the canned light
    I write my urn
