Someday I Would Like to Meet Ted Kooser
Old Ted and I’d have lots to talk about.
Oh maybe not the place and date of birth,
he from Iowa in 1939
me from P-A in 1958,
but we both lived in Lincoln, Nebraska.
We both word paint the simple things of life
using clear language and plain metaphors.
He didn’t have a lot of time to poem
working his business of life insurance.
Pulitzer winner, Poet Laureate
and Nebraska U-Lincoln professor.
And me a full-time host home provider
who writes a poem a day and blogs away.
A shining example inspires sweet dreams.
