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.
walking silently on his paws, he emerges from the semidarkness and disappears into it.
A heartvein throbs between her brows: Ketty-San’s
incensed another joke’s made at her expense,
With characters of granite schist, she hashtags a ban
Alone, which has grown to mean without you,
I sweat in our old bed. In the bay, the storm’s orchestra tunes.
Thunder, and my next expression is one of yours.
At the center of the city I come upon a hill, at the top of which is a very large bird. I see it resembles an eagle. Though it’s about 14 stories high, it’s as docile as a rabbit. Its foot, I see, is tied to a stout nearby building. The rope used for this purpose is thick, the knot alone having the bulk of a cottage, or a pleasant bungalow.
I knew the dick size of every boy in my grade,
my measure being how it filled my fist
when I squeezed it through their jeans. In return
Look how the snow drifts
flare on the Soracte’s slopes
—there, straining branches

Lived in Paris
Rue Rimbaud
I take meticulous care in noticing the ground
under my feet
as i walk slowly
Now I am married there is much to despair
now that I seem to need to.
By the powers vested in me, I am
Then to go there in the dusky
heavy air of that place yet always
carrying in the shielding
Looking At Tulips
Aware of all this mutability, I ask what does not change:
The longing of the heart to know is what I find myself saying.
