Edward G. Boggs
Strange Thing This World
Harvard is the new Ghetto
where old lined faces
were once young and fresh
and the swallowing of little
fishes really meant something
I just forget – how ? and why ?
those are the equational questions
we bounce around in our ever
bending worlds
with dark blue socks
and pinned on grins
that get lost
among the gladiolas
and
cartels of gratitude.
Bio
Edward G. Boggs is an emerging voice in the realm of poetry. His love of the written word is rooted from his youth, when he discovered literature. He has dabbled in the fine arts and enjoyed the pleasure of live theatre during his stint of formal education. His philosopy is, "A true artist is always in the becoming". The door to poetry has only been unlocked to him in the last few years and he considers it undiscovered country to be explored with a childlike curiosity and wonder. He resides with his amazing wife Charlotte, a gifted painter and their wonder budgie, Beakie Birdie. He is currently writing a literary work, The Favorable Year.
