You cannot live and keep free of briars

Today is the last day of April, so I will share with you my favorite favorite poem. You have probably seen it here before, but if I can't read it enough times, then neither can you.

The Ivy Crownby William Carlos Williams

Ooooh, that's nice.

I used to greatly dislike poetry, but I've been coming around recently.

Chances are good you've read it here before :).

And yes, YES, that line.

There is so much in this poem that rings true to me.
