new old kid on the blog, with an occasional old or new poem written off the old writer's block
first off, leave nothing
to chance and listen:
no baubles, please— whatever we hold dear must be surely precious to the ear, and to that eyeless, munching under- study of a worm, under- taking everything, all ingood stride.
A marvelous "The Art of Poetry" piece, whether or not one thinks of George Oppen's "The Gesture" (the first section of his five-section poem titled "FIVE POEMS ABOUT POETRY."Ah, a worm's stride. Yes, indeedy-do, this poem is a keeper!
Many thanks, John, and rest assured, I shall keep what you say here an amulet.
