Monday

Early Spring, 2012

I started the day with poetry, because when it is good it fuels my prose. But what I read did not speak to me, so I listened to All the Days and Nights, for the fourth time.

  1. Yes. And it will work again. I am not opposed to a fifth listen.

  3. Poetry can comfort, confuse, change a viewpoint, provoke empathy, introduce us to what we do not know, return us to the past, draw us into a possible future--so many things.

    Enjoy the shorts.

  6. Selected Shorts, a good place to go to. Good luck searching for what inspires you today.

    For me - it's a Mary Oliver day, though I could use a bit of her poetry everyday.

    Also, the photograph -- to me, a poem. Thank you for this, too.

  9. Repeating poetry is one of my favourite things to do. I like to memorize and recite poems in my head so I can have them with me at all times.
