I HAVE NOT WRITTEN A POEM FOR DAYS <br /> <br />I have not written a poem for days <br />For days I have not written a poem- <br />And my heart and my soul <br />My whole being <br />Longs for a poem. <br /> <br />But is this a poem? <br />Or am I nothing <br />But an unending babbler? <br />A word- struck fool? <br />A maniac in endless search of meaning? <br /> <br />While all around me, <br />This sunlit winter green Jerusalem Beauty, <br />I cannot say - <br /> <br />And as I stop to write, <br />Do not even now behold.<br /><br />Shalom Freedman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-have-not-written-a-poem-for-days/
