The Land of Unlikeness

Here are a couple stanzas from a recently posted poem by Brendan Sammon at The Well at the World’s End. He wrote another poem in August called “Right and Left Leave No Right Left” that is equally worth a complete read. A nice balance to all the foment from certain once enjoyable periodicals.

Between the Realist and the Idealist

The Idealist says
“The truth is not here!
It waits for us somewhere out there!”
The Realist says,
“There is only the here,
And the truth is we only know where.”
….
Whose ideas are real?
Whose reality ideal?
The answer is never inerrant;

But between all ideals
And everything real
Where the real ideals
Make ideas grow real,
Beauty is always inherent.
