I WROTE TOO MANY POEMS <br /> <br />I wrote too many poems <br />I forgot too many <br />I did not distinguish which important <br />And which not- <br />I could not say which were only play, <br />And which the heart of what I needed to say- <br />I wrote too many poems <br />And now unable to read them all <br />I continue writing new ones, <br />As if the old ones did not exist- <br />As if whatever I write <br />Is for the moment of its writing only <br />And all the rest <br />Only a dream lost long ago-<br /><br />Shalom Freedman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-wrote-too-many-poems/
