    • Hello fellow poets. I am originally from a very small very remote town in the woods of northern Maine.The town had a population of 560 souls.I was brought up( in what some would consider to be) abject poverty.If I was I never knew it. Simply due to the fact that everyone around me was in the same "boat".I have been writing from my teens. I enjoy the woods to this day. I hunt fish and hike whenever possible.And through the years I've learned that there is a God and that I'm not it. "SLIM"

    The passing

     Now this etherel shell I yield
    To lie in deaths repose
    Free at last from the yolkof sublunary woes.

    Shroud your grief unto me
    in tranquil muse of grace
    For is not death mans panacea?
    Gods first true embrace?

    Our lives are but brief sojourns.
    Unlike our souls eternal
    This our passage long since writ
    In Gods most sacred journal.

    Hence I depart in lasting peace
    no lull or trepidation
    And leave behind only this,
    My love and adoration.

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
