Afraid...



Some of the poems

That sit in my head

Are too afraid

To slip onto the page

  2. When Mark Twain was incensed, infuriated or in need of spitting out the poison he wrote his thoughts in letters. He never posted them and they were only discovered by his wife after his death.
    Desolation Row by Bob Dylan is one of my other favourite grumblers particularly in the final verse of that poem:
    All these people that you mention
    Yes, I know them, they’re quite lame
    I had to rearrange their faces
    And give them all another name
    Right now I can’t read too good
    Don’t send me no more letters, no
    Not unless you mail them
    From Desolation Row - Go for it Lynn
