The poem is the clarity.” <br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6272430209314356497.post-8933364774057386792016-01-24T14:44:34.574-05:002016-01-24T14:44:34.574-05:00Jamie what a lovely phrase — 'spirit of poetry...Jamie what a lovely phrase — 'spirit of poetry community' — a perfect description of the way I feel about this site and everyone that visits here.<br /><br />Risa, I'm so happy that you like the poem — 'Oh my' to your comment.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6272430209314356497.post-7283597480011860322016-01-24T12:46:41.584-05:002016-01-24T12:46:41.584-05:00Thank you, Sandy.

That should leave you with a lot of free time." — Howard Nemerov. <br /><br />Thank you, Adele. :) <br /><br /><br />~ ~ ~ <br /><br /><br />Arguments <br /><br />We scream in the cottage on the hill <br />with supposed innocence until deaf to the words <br />and, in fact, it is the other that deserve the title of <br />'game player of the year'. <br /><br />The spiral burns a chestnut falls <br />on dried leaves raked together in the garden the smoke <br />to rise without a thought the geese their sudden burst <br />against the sky so welcome they look the clouds all sail <br /><br />above the thatched roof oak beams stone floor <br />coals in the fireplace and floral patterned curtains <br />on the windows that overlook <br />the coming of arguments autumn long. <br /><br />~ ~ ~ <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
