Thank you. I love poetry too. I started loving it when I read Paul Croy's work. Here is a poem from his book "Old Blazes." He's dead now, I think. He was 80 when I met him, about 25 years ago. I had loved his poems for 25 years before that. That makes me ten years old at the time.


Fellowship

I saw a surly teamster skidding logs
and chewing snuff,
He smelled of sweat and bunkhouse beds
and spoke a language foul and rough.

I wondered as he wolfed his lunch,
"Can men like this one dream?"
And then I saw him save some crusts
and feed them to his team.

I saw a work-aged farmer living days
too short for rest,
But he mowed around the places where
the larks had built their nests.

These men who work against the earth
and live by what it brings,
Have learned the kindest code of life
is loving other living things.
