[New-Poetry] Billy Collins in extremis

[Anny Ballardini]

:-)

BC seemed to have a thought
he took it out for a walk
& walk & walk & walk & walk
he ended up in the extreme north

"my thought," he said
when at night 
at last his poems entered
& exhausted as he was
"I will talk of you".

  Final student exam I'll share with you.  Promise!


  "The way he expresses his ideas seem to say that he had a thought.  Then he took it to the extreme and talked about it in his poems."
