(untitled) by larry thoren

    I know
    your're not supposed to walk
    on the Hanccok golf course
                                   after dark

    but I sure like to

    Sometimes it's clear as a bell
    and you can see a pretty big sky    

    You get the feeling
    you're out somewhere
    even though you're
    right in the middle of town.

Larry Thoren is my favorite poet in the whole universe. No kidding. No pretense; no affectation; no b.s. - - just the straight stuff. A dying breed. Genuine. Hand-hewn. Like the wood he fashions with his heart. Gardener. Carpenter. Human being extraordinaire.

You can read more of Larry's poetry by going now to the
