The Poetry of Russ Cope

Russ Cope

Russ Cope is a writer from West Virginia.





Belief

I’m going to overcome
this patchwork wall of doubt,
I’m going to reach out

What we believe about life
shapes the way we live it,
the way we see an object

Immediately changes that
object, transformation,
metamorphosis into the new.




Sales

Nobody’s buying quaint
philosophy, most people don’t
want to hear it

People come for comfort,
want someone to tell them
they’re doing the right thing

Even when they are far from
a path, they want someone to
sell them the idea

that the path they’re on is
magnificent and beautiful.
