Random Poem of the Day
1A porcupine skin,
2Stiff with bad tanning,
3It must have ended somewhere.
4Stuffed horned owl
5Pompous
6Yellow eyed;
8Sooted with dust.
9Piles of old magazines,
10Drawers of boy's letters
11And the line of love
12They must have ended somewhere.
13Yesterday's Tribune is gone
14Along with youth
15And the canoe that went to pieces on the beach
16The year of the big storm
17When the hotel burned down
