We Get Poetry

We do get poetry books at Meals on Wheels.  One good one is called Good Poems compiled by Garrison Keillor of Prairie Home Companion on Public Radio. FRom that book is is Dilemma by David Budbill, a poet from Vermont, who deserves to be famous. 


I want to be 
            famous
so I can be
            humble
about being 
            famous.

What good is my
           humility
when I am
           stuck
in this
           obscurity?

There is good poetry and bad poetry. I like the shorter poems like Dilemma.
