"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”
-George Steiner

Does it have to be one poem? I nominate Lucimay's poetry.

But...if we have to be specific: Flight to New Orleans

Lucimay seconded.
Dandelion don't tell no lies
Dandelion will make you wise
Tell me if she laughs or cries
Blow away dandelion

I'm afraid there's no denying
I'm just a dandelion
a fate I don't deserve.

I seconded her first, so that means you thirded her first, or seconded her second. Either way, it adds up to 5.

There are so many gifted poets here that it is hard to pick out just one...

But this year my nomination would go to Variol Farseer and his Rooms to let, furnished...tht one just really got me.
Love as thou wilt.

I can't believe "Flight of the Badger" wasn't nominated.
