Thanks Manish for introducing me to the poetry of Charles Bukowski ("a poem is a city"). I am really enjoying reading his poems on line. He takes the mundane and makes it funny, with lots of wisdom.

Beautiful in its brevity, depth & wisdom - we should all resolve to be sparser!

Helene you have excelled yourself with this poem. The allegory is perfect. Poetry is prayer and poetry is sparsity stand out for me as hitting the nail on the head. Very well done.
Thank you,
Keith

I loved your version of poetry, Helena!
Besides, Charles Bukowski's version i.e. "a poem is a city", I think this one's my new favorite now.
Thank you for this.
