Unfolding Canvas


Violet-blue anemones in green field 
Of yellow-flowered clover— 

Set to take over, profusion of red 
Encroachers already bleeding through.

  1. This is an absolutely gorgeous poem. Cummings told how beauty hurt Mr. Vinal, but it hurts us all sometimes with all those dark associations....

  3. Joe and Jonathan--

    Give those unsentimental red anemones a few more weeks and they'll have the field to themselves.

    Thanks for dropping by.
