"You only have to write a poem. It doesn't have to rhyme.

Don't fret about form. It'll be good enough.

It may be your last or, maybe, the first of many. Who knows?" The forty-four poems in this collection, All the Purple Iris, are, definitely, autobiographical and a kind of credo.

It's all just I, watching the world, listening to the music it makes, trying to put it into words. It's an earnest effort to pay attention.

A poem can make a long story short and often memorable, like "When you are old and grey and full of sleep. .

. " (W.

B. Yeats) or "For this your mother sweated in the cold.

. .

" (Edna St. Vincent Millay) or "Two roads diverged in a yellow wood.

. .

" (Robert Frost). Doesn't it enliven you?One more thing: Don't read the whole collection at once.

Just one at a time, please, until it feels like a song and it's you singing. -John S.

Thornton, Taucross Farm, Scio, Oregon. .
