    Poem Commentary

    In memory of my beautiful mammaw.

    If I Settle Down...

     If I settle down, I settle
    In a sunset. I plant myself
    In fiery orange fresh hoed crops.
    I swim in the sapphire glow.
    I breathe endless days
    Before the night takes me away.

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
