How Poetry Lives On... by Barbara Morris Fischer, Ed/Pub. J. Mark Press I want to share something really special with you. About 35 years ago, I took my 5-year-old son on the L. I. Railroad to Central Park in New York City.  I was publishing  poetry anthologies, and one of our poets who really stood out  was Emilie Glenn, (Greenwich Village, NY)  when we published her poem "The Redhead in Washington Square." On the train seat, heading for home, I found a "Little" literary magazine,  "The Coffee House Review." In it was a poem that lived with me since. Partly because I had just taken my little one to see the magical clock at the Children's Zoo in Central Park, (like my father had taken me to see). I wrote to Emilie to thank her for it. I'd love to hear from Emilie, who read in the coffee house on McDougal Street, if she's still with us, or if anyone who knows of her. Please read CLOCK OF THE ANIMALS below by Emilie Glenn. It has a surprise ending.
Hurry Mother hurry,      The clock in the park Is dancing the animals       To music box tunes Better than the best cake       You ever baked, Mother hurry,        Monkeys with mallets Are striking the hour        On their big bell, The bear and the hippo         Are dancing round and round, Playing the tambourine and the horn.         The penguin and the goat and the elephant                   with drum and pipes and squeeze-box, Kangaroo with a baby in her pouch Not so fast my darling          Never rush time away, Turn each moment precious in your palm,          You will never be holding it again, I remember the Town Clock           Of my Bavarian Village, Painted people marched around it in double row,            And the bell was struck by an angel,                     Or so it seemed to me. Mama, waiting for the hour,            Looks up at my animal clock As if it's telling her something sad,           Will I be looking up at another clock                       With my little one, My face pulled down sad            My face pulled down sad                        Remembering mine.
