Suggested poetry

From time to time, since I have often purchased books of poetry from Amazon, I receive suggestions in my email on who I might read next.  There are many poets I have never heard of. Some mornings, like this one, the suggestions are not helpful. I sampled the beguiling and magisterial poet.  I would name his poetry, simply, creepy.

I awaken

To suggested books of poetry

In my in-box.

They were written by people

I didn*t know

Walk this earth.

They carry titles

Which entice me

To taste a poem,

Just one.

This morning*s collection

Demands

To be spit out.

One poet is named

Intensely ethical.

Another review claims a poet

Beguiling and magisterial.

Of course I would have to read the books

To even begin to understand

What these reviewers mean.

I sample a poem or two

From the list.

Today is a day

To drink coffee,

Eat my breakfast cereal,

Meet with a client or two.

Today is a day to think and speak

In simpler language.
