COLD PRESS

My photo
Montreal, Quebec, Canada
i wrote some books and gave away library. i like to think that every poem is a love poem. i believe that "No" is a full sentence. i used to collect old books and young cats. i don't like noisy people, places or things. my three favourite words: yes, please, thank you. my favourite punctuation mark is the colon: i have a beautiful cat, a bicycle, an old typewriter, and a ladle. these things make me happy.

HE

(With apologies to Joyce Kilmer)

I think I shall never see
A she as foolish as a he.
A he whose hungry mouth is pressed
Against whatever he likes best.

A he who looks at girls all day,
Spends his time in foolish play.
A he that may in summer wear
A nest of freckles and not care.

Upon whose breast tattoos have lain
Who ultimately shuns work for gain.
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can create a He.


(c)Gwen Beauregard - 1957
