In The Monastery Garden

Love is not longing it is action-
The six novices in the monastery garden know this

and it makes them furious.
They swear between their teeth.

On their knees
in soil wet with last night's rain

to weed the bean rows
with no breakfast this morning but bitter coffee.

In anger the six hiss like a swarm of black bees
while they pull the weeds.

George Keithley at Verse Daily


On our march that day, an Indian went behind us with a whip, with which he frequently lashed the children, to make them keep up. In this manner we traveled till dark, without a mouthful of food or a drop of water, although we had not eaten since the night before. Whenever the little children cried for water, the Indians would make them drink urine, or go thirsty. At night they encamped in the woods, without fire and without shelter, where we were watched with the greatest vigilance. Extremely fatigued, and very hungry, we were compelled to lie upon the ground, without supper or a drop of water to satisfy the cravings of our appetites. As in the daytime, so the little ones were made to drink urine in the night, if they cried for water. Fatigue alone brought us a little sleep for the refreshment of our weary limbs; and at the dawn of day we were again started on our march, in the same order that we had proceeded the day before.

Thank you all so much for answering our call! Your generous support
insured that we were able to continue for another year. It also gave us
real hope for the kind of sustained annual support that will allow us
not only to be able to count on continuing day to day, but to plan for
new features and services.
That is our challenge this year, one no less serious than our challenge
last year: to prove that sustaining support for Poetry Daily can
continue annually, and in fact continue to grow annually so that Poetry
Daily can grow in the ways that so many of you have written to us to
suggest.

Poetry Daily is reader supported



Q. I read that West Africans who speak the language called Ewe use one word for both "yesterday" and "tomorrow." What does it actually mean?

A. "Not now."

ALL triplets in North Korea are being forcibly removed from parents after their birth and dumped in bleak orphanages.

The policy is carried out on the orders of Stalinist dictator Kim Jong-il, who has an irrational belief that a triplet could one day topple his regime.

The number three is thought to be auspicious in North Korea and triplets are revered. It is believed they are likely to rise to positions of power, which accounts for Kim's insistence that they are all raised in state-run orphanages, where their development can be controlled.

It's not that women are exiled from the business, they burn out. How did Laura accomplish so much without losing her grip? "I'm probably one of the few people who has been in the biz as both sexes. When I was a man, I could get without putting much effort into my appearance. As a man, I could do hundreds of sketches without ever being asked to wear a padded bra. As a woman, I need more than a recommendation and a good writing sample. Getting work as a woman requires a lot more maintenance."
