A quadrille of 44 words on theme of “paper” linked to dVerse Poets
it’s world poetry day
but you probably won’t
read it in the newspapers
poems aren’t news any-
more than recipes are
novels but why not?
publish a peace poem
on front page of today’s
issue with bold print, yell
“extra, read all about it!”
a poem in my pocket

Wonderful, Lynn. Your poem reminds me of a verse from the tao te ching (paraphrased) “I look for a day when the war horses are put out to pasture.”
