ramble, and a poem much more interesting than the ramble

Oct 07, 2011 20:01

Because I could whinge about money or work or health or anxiety or having things I want to do, creative things, that I don't seem to get to-

but that seems useless, worse than useless, and not fun-

so instead, I will repost the poem from the DW Poetry community from today, and count my self lucky that

there is poetry in the world, and tomorrow is another day, and I will be watching for the moment I didn't notice that i'd forgotten how wonderful it is to be alive, and then i'll remember that yes, I am alive, and there is poetry in the world with me, everywhere.

Poem:

Because You Asked about the Line Between Prose and Poetry
Howard Nemerov

Sparrows were feeding in a freezing drizzle
That while you watched turned to pieces of snow
Riding a gradient invisible
From silver aslant to random, white, and slow.

There came a moment that you couldn’t tell.
And then they clearly flew instead of fell.
