Reviews for Read To Me Some Poem

by John-Michael Albert, former Poet Laureate of Portsmouth, NH

...Here are poets who invite us to take a walk with them and share what they see, and others who ask us to reconsider the potential of everyday objects. There are poets in mourning, poets in celebration, and poets who, like magicians, play with words for our amusement.

Future Plans by Kate Barnes

When I am an old, old woman I may very well be
living all alone like many another before me
and I rather look forward to the day when I shall have
a tumbledown house on a hill top and behave
just as I wish to. No more need to be proud

at the tag end of life one is at last allowed
to be answerable to no one. Then I shall wear
a shapeless felt hat clapped on over my white hair,
sneakers with holes for the toes, and a ragged dress.
My house shall be always in a deep drifted mess,

my overgrown garden a jungle. I shall keep a crew
of cats and dogs, with perhaps a goat or two
for my agate-eyed familiars. And what delight
I shall take in the vagaries of day and night,
in the wind in the branches, in the rain on the roof!

I shall toss like an old leaf, weather
mad without reproof.

I'll wake when I please, and when I please I shall doze;
whatever I think, I shall say; and I suppose
that with such a habit of speech I'll be let well alone
to mumble plain truth like an old dog with a bare bone.
