“Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.”

~ Robert Frost ~

Quotation of the Week (38/2010)

“My favourite poem is the one that starts 'Thirty days hath September' because it actually tells you something.”
~ Groucho Marx ~

Thirty days hath September,
April, June, and November;
All the rest have thirty-one,
Excepting February alone,
And that has twenty-eight days clear
And twenty-nine in each leap-year.

Fourth Annual Bloggers Silent Poetry Reading

From The Stair Landing I learn that today is the Fourth Annual Bloggers Silent Poetry Reading.

Post your poem, (your own or another's) today.

Here is one by Emily Dickinson:

The sky is low, the clouds are mean,

A traveling flake of snow

Across a barn or through a rut

Debates if it will go.

A narrow wind complains all day

How someone treated him;

Nature, like us, is sometimes caught

Without her diadem.
