Today's Poetry Thread: ORIGINS I'm so glad this poem exists. Feel free to add poems.

@Frank_Hudson @Joseph_Fasano_ So far as I know (could be not much), someone took the lines from his novel and formed them into a poem, but I can't be sure. it came my way as one of those internet passages, probably formed out of original Huxley along the way.

@brcohen95 @Joseph_Fasano_ I liked this Aldous Huxley piece. I have a question: Is this a passage from Huxley's late-life novel titled Island? Or is this some separate piece of poetry that shares that same title?

Today's Poetry Thread: BEING PRESENT This has to be the best poem about being in an experience instead of trying to capture it (with a picture, a video, even a selfie). Of course the irony is that the poem captures, creates, forms an experience. Feel free to add poems.
