Blogging Betty
|
| |
My most recent poem "Betty" is now over 1,500 lines long. That's too big to post to a group -- so, in order to get a copy onto the net, I've started a blog, "The Betty Blog." I'm posting the poem in reverse order of strophes, as when finished the poem can then be read in its proper order. I've already completed the posting of "Betty's Appendix," which gives... more »

On the Wire / Robert Service
|
| |
On The Wire O God, take the sun from the sky! It's burning me, scorching me up. God, can't You hear my cry? Water! A poor, little cup! It's laughing, the cursed sun!

Night (Fall) / George Dance
|
| |
Night (Fall) The grass shone emerald in the morning light but fades to gray now as the autumn moon glints off the darkened waters in the bight, a stray reflection of some lost balloon. The trees that I remember as so bright (persimmon, scarlet, orange, gold) at noon have dulled to tarry black and ghostly white,... more »

Bird Cage / Hector de Saint-Denys Garneau
|
| |
Bird Cage I am a bird cage A bone cage With a bird The bird in my bone cage Is death making its nest When nothing is happening I hear its wings folding And when I’ve laughed a lot If I suddenly stop I hear it cooing Deep down Like a small bell It is a bird held captive Death in my bone cage Wouldn’t it like to fly away... more »
