Tuxedos are Sexy
This is love. She rubs her face against mine. The perfect date. Dressed to impress, a tux is always sexy. She tries to provide for me, she knows I am a lousy hunter. She is spontaneous- creating a dinner date by leaving me food on the porch. This is love.

Torch Bearers-II
Part-II [1]. A story is told of Guru Nanak that, in the course of his travels, he came to a village. Besides him, his disciple, Mardana, also came to the village. They wanted to stay there for the night. But the villagers were rude and inhospitable, and would not let them stay anywhere in the village. So Guru Nanak and mardana were forced to spend the night in the open. As they turned away from the village, guru nanak said “I pray that the people of this village may always stay in this village.” Mardana was somewhat puzzled at this, but said nothing.

Ode to the woman on Marketplace who left me out in the cold because she had a Zoom call and did not tell me about it until I was in front of her place and almost froze my toes
Note: I was supposed to pick up a book today from a woman I wrote to on Marketplace, but I arrived at the home just to be told by text that she had a Zoom meeting. This information had been unshared with me, and I was out in the cold for quite some time (she never wrote back to apologize and I blocked her). And this came out.

E. J. Pratt: A Pioneering Voice in Canadian Poetry
Early Life and Influences Born Edwin John Dove Pratt on February 4, 1882, in Newfoundland, Pratt grew up in an environment deeply connected to the sea. His father was a Methodist minister, and his upbringing was marked by strict religious discipline and exposure to Newfoundland’s rugged landscapes. These early experiences shaped much of his poetry, particularly his fascination with nature’s power and the human struggle against it.

HEAVEN & EARTH
SHE was stardust, glowing bright, HE was earth, lost in night. . HER footfalls—music, light and free, HE was stillness, root and tree.

Emily Dickinson: The Solitary Genius of American Poetry
Early Life and Education Emily Elizabeth Dickinson was the second of three children born to Edward and Emily Norcross Dickinson. Her father was a prominent lawyer and politician, while her mother was more reserved, focusing on the household. Emily grew up in a deeply religious and conservative environment, attending Amherst Academy and later Mount Holyoke Female Seminary. Although she excelled academically, Dickinson withdrew from Mount Holyoke after less than a year, a decision that has been attributed to homesickness, health issues, and perhaps her discomfort with the school’s religious fervor.

Claudia Rankine (b. 1963) Poets
While Rankine’s poems often interweave text with imagery and reflection, here’s a sample-style reflection and analysis of her approach and influence. It draws from her thematic focus but isn't a direct poem from her work, as her pieces are layered with context and multimedia that are hard to replicate fully. Below is a poetic interpretation that aligns with her themes, totaling about 1,000 words:
