"eliding joy and pain.


And it pleases all who hear."

"The Emergence of Hilarity, Chapter Seven"

Palm Psalm

I drew simple inspiration

from a few words of

another poet as I read

through her book.


The words flowed simply

and carefully through

the forms laid upon

the pages.


I couldn't help but

ponder the words of

a book aptly named,

"Hilarity."
