The Cat
Truth is stranger than fiction according to many people who have seen what happens around me and to them, on many occasions. Sometimes I have had others affect me in the same way. This is part of the story told in my article The Man who Loved Jail. The Cat: the cat meowed and moved slowly out of his way he knew it wanted something but it didn't come to his outstretched hand so he meowed she winked he felt they parted friends perhaps never to meet again the Earth was pliant under foot the trees engulfed his heart and took his mind to the tree tops so his soul could feel, forever the timeless beauty and purpose of life ~ the relative unimportance of his human fears and frailty she stood next to him in a place far away from the cat and the trees in a town where spirituality is raised to a new low he felt the cat's friendship and wisdom he knew how unimportant his worries were, and the roots of the tree... seemed to tie their feet entwined; lovingly with certainty and timelessness he awaits the mountain top with excited anticipation still fearful, he might fall ~yet fully confident in its rightness Author and activist for Ecumenicism and egalitarian creative potential.

I was a heavy drinker up to 1984 (some twenty years drinking), when I quite, and so these poems must have something to do with it, a slight reflection perhaps. They were never numbered, as I have done in the past to most of my poems, but I assume they would be around #125 and #126, or so, out of #760.

Writing Innovative Poetry Writing innovative poetry, the kind of poetry that reputable literary journals publish, entails knowing exactly what each word of a poem does to the reader. A good poem should be evocative, skillful, and cohesive, but before attempting to hone these attributes, a potential poet should be knowledgeable of the various forms and attributes of contemporary poetry. A good way to become familiar with the aspects of contemporary poetry is to take classes, join writing workshops, and subscribe to contemporary literary journals. Reading and understanding good poetry is vital to being able to write good poetry.
