A Poetic Interlude

Many moons ago, I read and loved

The Golden Road to Samarkand, 

by James Elroy Flecker.

Unfortunately, Flecker was one 

of the many talented young men

sacrificed in The Great War.

But I loved his poem.

Later this week, I too am taking

the road to Samarkand.

Never underestimate the power of a good poem.
