Jim Thompson’s Spiritual Poetry Class #21

Dear Cool Poetry People:

If one were to go by my selection of this week’s poems, one might think I have been in a down mood lately, and that is absolutely true. However, I also find these poems hopeful in their speaking to us, the living, to make the most of the time we have left. Here are the poems:

• “Adios” by Naomi Shihab Nye
• “Moments” by Jorge Luis Borges OR a nonexistent woman OR a 1950’s Readers Digest contributor? (see note at bottom of poem)
• “Request” by Lawrence Raab
