Wages

 


Wages


“In timeless magic, lofty trees

don blankets made of virgin snow…”

This imagery is sewn to please

in ways that only poets know.


Inquire of nature, “What’s the time?”

and watch the day sink into night,

but hear the image in a rhyme

and see without the need for sight.


For life and love and beauty’s sake,

at banquets spread in poets minds,

of metered sweetness we partake

in verses of the many kinds.


What else should poet’s wages be

but joy and peace … and sanity?
