Classic poem of the day
Creeds for the credulous; but as for me,
I choose to keep a mind alert and free.
Not Faith but Truth I set me for a goal:
Toward that shining mark God speed thee, Soul!
Member poem of the day

Speechless at Auschwitz
by Ko Un
translation by Michael R. Burch
At Auschwitz
piles of glasses
mountains of shoes
returning, we stared out different windows.
