A prose poem argues that wealth corrupts morals and society. It pleads for a moral shift toward generous giving, condemning hoarding and urging the wealthy to fund churches and public goods while condemning exploitation by brokers and the rich’s complicity in social inequities. It calls for reform of values across modern life.
A reflective verse meditating on spring, gardens, and loss. The speaker contrasts blossoms and totems with memories of love, sorrow, and faith. The poem invokes garden imagery such as pansies, thyme, roses, and mint, blending affection with mortality as it ends with hopeful lines about enduring spirit.
A surreal poem fragment evokes wind bent pines and phantom watchers. It threads through ruined towns, eerie caves, and stormy seas as ships toil in a gale. Names and settings blur in a dreamlike voyage with a haunting chorus of distant bells and voices.
A rambling narrative describes farm life with a mule, chickens, pigs, and a cat causing chaos in a farmyard. A farm family, Mandy and others, share a humorous, chaotic day including a runaway mule, a noisy market intrusion, and various household mishaps. The piece then shifts to theater and literary anecdotes about Joe Jefferson and other figures, mixing memory and dialogue with anecdotes about public figures and social events.
