Edward A. Morris Poems

My thoughts of you, and yours of me,
Can be portrayed mathematically:
To sum up every complex trait
We factorize and integrate,
...

What wafting of wisdom! Such saccharine sound!
Deft diction's depictions, opaque and profound!
So ruminants rumble and mumble and seek
To mine out much marrow, obtuse and oblique.
...

Truth as we see it
Is not as we’d choose it.
The true say “so be it, ”
The truthless refuse it.
...

If your ego is capacious
Or your appetite voracious
For a plucky, pertinacious
Confidence in cherished creeds,
...

(A tribute to the John Muir quote, 'The mountains are calling and I must go.')


From pine-scented forests, past boulders and streams,
...

Poor ol' Pyrrho, he's the hero
Of my somber poetry:
Couldn't figure how to pick your
Core beliefs with certainty.
...

If everything were simple it would shape just like a brain,
And I'd take it out and look at it and never feel a pain,
And I'd pity poorer mortals who didn't care if it were true,
For the clear and simple reasons that explained their shallow view,
...

The account of Descartes was redoubtable:
“I exist, since this thought is undoubtable.”
Mister Hume peered inside,
Said, “I see naught besides
...

'A man convinced against his will
Is of the same opinion still'—
But though we will with all our might,
A sober thought still wins that fight.
...

Of all the critters men have cursed,
The hateful hairy tick is worst.
His charm conceals a crudest quest
To snag you in his noxious nest.
...

In Plato's cave the poppies grow
Enchantingly, it seems:
A soothing, soporific show
Of mesmerizing dreams.
...

Whose words these are I think I know.
His workshop is a nuthouse though;
He will not like my chortling sneer
That mocks his composition so.
...

He walked out in the dark one day
To see a million stars,
The vastness of the Milky Way,
The luminance of Mars.
...

The Best Poem Of Edward A. Morris

Blake's Mistake

“Don't tell your love, ” the sage advised,
“Or you will never get her.”
“Well said! ” the swain soliloquized,
“But silence works no better.”
