Istanbul 2007
To think of roses and gardens inside is bad,
to think of seas and mountains is good.
Read and write without rest,
and I also advise weaving
and making mirrors.

Weaving & making mirrors, huh? I liked the poem. BTW, Marvin listed my name wrong on the links page, and I noticed you picked his misspelling up: It is “Katie” not “Kaite” Thanks!
Nice poem. It reminds me of the one by (I think) William Carlos Williams about eating the plums. It’s blunt, simple and subtle.
Beautiful!
I liked this. A lot.
