Poem of the Day
Yellow Striped Pajamas
By Shamsher Bahadur Singh
walking silently on his paws, he emerges from the semidarkness and disappears into it.

You were born already beautiful
Beautiful, an O fell from your mouth
Loneliness comes rushing toward me
Why does it move so fast
When I am moving toward it
because there is no reason for my sitting here laughing
I wonder if they’ve really caught the scent,
which is a poor memory in our Symbolist ears
Such a flow of language!
She is a neighbor too,
and I am getting there
My wife’s recipe for a fairy:
Put buttercup pollen
And a canary feather
After the sponge bath
Spice cake and coffee
In a sky blue china cup
Light spray over a daisy chain of days.
Many wives, brought on rocking boats,
Dissolve in one loved damsel.
