A Favourite Poet and Poem
- – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - -
love is the every only god
who spoke this earth so glad and big
even a thing all small and sad
man may his mighty briefness dig
for love beginning means return
seas who could sing so deep and strong
on queerying wave will whitely yearn
from each last shore and come home young
so truly perfectly the skys
by merciful love whispered were,
completes its brightness with your eyes
any illimitable star

Nice… I haven’t read that Cummings poem yet, thank you for it. I’m anxious to soak up verse these days, as I’m busy compiling a personal anthology of favorite poems, and I’m always glad to see my favorite blog sites indulge in the poetic angle on things. I’ll let you know when I’m finished with my little project, BTW…. I only wish I had it in me to write that well, myself. Oh well, cheers -
