Poet's Profile: Jerry Caruso

us1worksheets

Updated: Aug 4, 2021

Jerry Caruso shares his poem from US 1 Worksheets Volume 66.


Cathedral


The balloon man walked

one cold night in the country

as an ice fog formed,

his breath mixed with it

and turned his scarf, beard and eyebrows

white with frost


Out in the woods,

the trees and snow were an aethereal cathedral

He breathed out a prayer.

it tumbled out in ice crystals

and rose with the silence



Jerry famously states in his email signature "Poets who read their verse in public, may have other bad habits," a paraphrase of a quote from Robert A. Heinlein.
