Premium Member Bess and Harry Truman
Husband Harry was well known for using earthy language now and then. He used a not so nice word other than "crap" over and over again! Bess heard that term so often that it became hard for her to endure. Said she, "I'm trying to get him to clean up his act...

Dream Song For Harry Truman
You must not have believed in the death of poets. A harpsichord wind plays the bare, coral trees in an ashen sky. Songs sing like passive seas honed red with remembering.

Bridges wane, catching your slide to darkness, your rediscovery-- face burned...
