Do most poets write on a single theme?

Nine out of ten times? Or nine years out of any decade? Perspective is personal and singular and in the execution, plural. Word choice. Word order. Events do alter. Like aging. And the experience of taste.




If seasonal were not the issue, would most cooks favor a particular food -- morning, noon, and night. This is personal: there is no dish, dear, in which I would not insinuate a Fuyu persimmon.

    on an evening stroll to the market she sees a child's bike, abandoned
    something stirs inside her, and she longs to bring it home
    but would the neighbors think it odd
    and wonder if she stole it
    and wonder too if there were a reason one so far
    from childhood would want to reclaim its rust
    and gears
