A poem can be written anywhere, anytime- br A poem can be written too early in the morning br While waiting in Talpiot for ‘Rami Levi Supermarket’ to open- br It can be written in one’s head in a frozen Army barracks in Beit El br Or in a small room on Rav Berlin St on an old Smith- Corona br In the first happy years of one’s marriage- br It can be written for years from Haganah St. in French Hill br In the family years and the lonely ones br It can be written walking by the sea in Tel Aviv br With small children in hand- br It can be written on the same shore years later when one’s life has been broken br By Love’s desertion- br It can be written in old age on Rehov Shahal in Givat Mordechai br As one takes joy from the birth of one’s first grandchild- br br A poem can be written anywhere anytime- br br I have been writing my poems in Israel br For more than half a lifetime- br br May those too br Who come after me br Read and Write Poetry here.
