If anybody wnats to read a poem about how clothes covers up human beauty, go to www.poemhunter.com, then search for Kahlil Gibran, then click on "Clothes". I just read it, and thought you all would love to see it as well. Maybe, Greg.

After the search for Kahlil Gibran, you will see at the top of the list his name again. click on that, and then click on "Clothes". Maybe, Greg.

I like it.

There are other great poems on poemhunter, by a certain poet, ME! Anyone can have their poetry on that site. I believe that just about anyone can submit poetry by the late greats such as Gibran, or maybe only their publishers can, not sure. I picked up a book by Gibran. He is Lebonese, and came to live the last years of his life here in the states. Maybe, Greg.

Nudity

We are blind
and yet we try to see
the naked truth.

If we took off our clothes
she would come to us,
but we are afraid

of nudity.

Most of my 200 plus poems are about love and God,, and God and love! Maybe, Greg.

...can we see these, Greg?

See my latest post, called "It is posted", then you can find me that way. Maybe, Greg.

I am also on a site called poets.com, you have to sign in in order to view anything there. I go by the screenname of rumilover. Maybe, Greg.

Ah, yes, Kahlil Gibran's beautiful essay on clothing from his book The Prophet. That book contains several other nudity-friendly references. "He threshes you to make you naked...The wind and the sun will tear no holes in your skin...For what is it to die but to stand naked in the wind and to melt into the sun?" Quite a difference from modern fundamentalist Islam, isn't it?

That is the book I bought, "The Prophet". Them middle easterners sure knew their poetry back in the 1200's to at least Gibran's time! Maybe, Greg.
