A Statement About Today's Poetry
A poet runs-out of dreams and time,
Words frozen, the bad just goes to worse,
Can't find the inspiration or rhyme,
And settles for the easier way of free verse.

Far Out (By Philip Larkin)
Beyond the bright cartoons
Are darker spaces where
Small cloudy nests of stars
Seem to float on the air.
These have no proper names:
Men out alone at night
Never look up at them
For guidance or delight.
For such evasive dust
Can make so little clear:
Much less is known than not,
More far than near.
