An Onion Is Round and Grows in the Ground: The Poems of David N. Zamet

The poetry collection An Onion Is Round and Grows in the Ground offers poems on a wide spectrum of subjects. Some are humorous, some are sad, some are descriptive, while others simply convey author David N. Zamet’s thoughts. His poems contain “the thoughts of a lifetime and I have not yet finished writing. Every day something may come into my head.” PERHAPS What shall I do? Now the years roll by Taking with them in their stride Days that I will ne’er see again. Old future keeps her secrets well And as of old she keeps them fast Secure in her fortress of tomorrow, Letting none but the present escape her clutches. What will be? Not even she can tell But like us she tries to guess And needs must I, to do the same To try and beat her at her game. The present and the past I have And can caress, but these soon go. Gone like the future still to come Untouchable till time is run. Therefore I ask, what can we do? Whom having the past behind, lose before We gain the present, which Is here and gone again.
