'Twists of smoke rise from the limpness of jewelled fingers,
The softness of Persian rugs hushes the room.
Under a dragon lamp with a shade the color of coral
Sit the readers of poems one by one.'
- Edgar Lee Masters. From 'Arabel.' 1915.

hits close to my heart
..

I like what you've done with the place,
Your body, I means is what I said when I first met you in this life. The curation of your tattoos is just devine.
-
I love you another time, maybe
In the womb somewhere,
Before you even had hands

'Let the world
have its way with you,
luminous as it is

with mystery
and pain -
graced as it is
with the ordinary.'

(from her poem Summer Morning)

Although, really, is there anything ordinary in this world?

White tulips,
red and yellow ones,
real springtime,
I am caressing them
and they agree...
but one reminds me
of something so mine…
this black tulip
between you and me.

“Greetings to the woman who carries the world on her back, Greetings to the half of the sky, Greetings to the smiling face of the fight, Greetings to the one who can be a rose, to the one who smells of roses, to the one who prevents the cruelty” Ahmed Arif famous poet

Day 23 is Margaret Atwood. This is my favourite poem of hers. I love her poetry. (I also love that the late, deeply loved Sudbury poet, Robert Dickson, is quoted on the back of this old book. Robert is still missed here.❤️)

Day 29 is Bronwen Wallace’s “A Simple Poem for Virginia Woolf.” Wallace is one of my poetic influences and I love her long, lyrical, personal narrative poems.❤️✨❤️

Day 21 is Michael Ondaatje’s poem, “The Cinnamon Peeler.” I love it more than I can even say…for so so so many reasons.
