18 – A BETTER WORSHIP

Posted on January 27, 2014 by Ken Greenman

Stony soil’s a better
kneeling bench
than cushion pewed cathedral

when crocus emerges,
it’s after wrestling with rock

Why praise some cosmic magician
Genesis, mere wand wave?

Rather, pray to a sweating tulip
triumphing in the sun.

    Reading through the first page of poems posted in 2014, Ken – became easier after I learned to navigate WordPress. I opened an account long ago – but never used it. I particularly enjoyed this poem: “A Better Worship” – I sense that we have the garden and Thoreau-ish sensibilities in common.
