Poems By Grace Cavalieri

LEARNING FROM BUDDHA

The cat likes to lick
a piece of butter
at the end of a knife
propped up by the window
so he can watch the birds
today I forgot the butter and the knife
he didn't care
he knows
some days
there are no birds.

I’m always looking for poetry that’s wholly original and written with specific eyes. So, I recommend these poems by Henry Crawford (poet/lawyer/software engineer.) —Grace Cavalieri
