We ask why not come the dove from above
To allay the stampede of the bull’s callow gore.
If ancients to moderns had not asked why,
We might not know why the answer is why.
Chris Daugherty: I have been writing poetry for ten years,
having both institutional and self-taught education on
writing metered verse. I currently have only two books in
circulation on the Internet: ‘Phoenix’ and ‘88 Poems’. I
reside in rural Florida of the United States. The poem 'Floral
Phi' is from my forthcoming book ‘Opal’.
