About Naomi Replansky

Naomi Replansky (May 23, 1918 – January 7, 2023) was a Jewish poet who lived in the USA.

Originators like Naomi Replansky:

When there was one kiss/against ten curses/and one loaf/against ten hungry/and one hello/against ten goodbyes/the odds stalked/your crooked steps.

They went hunting lions/But a flea attacked them/And their hunters' passion/Narrowed to a flea.

In silence is the smell of treachery, and sanction/Of hunger, and therefore I shout./But in the storm of sound I clothe myself/In a hush like fur.
