Poem of the Day May 13
Silence
By Billy Collins
There is the sudden silence of the crowd
above a player not moving on the field,
and the silence of the orchid.
The silence of the falling vase
before it strikes the floor,
the silence of the belt when it is not striking the child.
The stillness of the cup and the water in it,
the silence of the [...]

Unfolded out of the Folds
(from Leaves of Grass, first published in 1860 edition)
by Walt Whitman
Unfolded out of the folds of the woman, man comes unfolded, as is always to come unfolded,
Unfolded only out of the superbest woman of the earth, is to come the superbest man of the earth,
Unfolded out of the friendliest woman, is to come the fri [...]

Nothing Gold Can Stay
by Robert Frost
Nothing Gold Can Stay
Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf,
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day
Nothing gold can stay.
Spring
by Edna St. Vincent Millay
To what purpose, April, do yo [...]

Final Soliloquy Of The Interior Paramour
By Wallace Stevens
Light the first light of evening, as in a room
In which we rest and, for small reason, think
The world imagined is the ultimate good.
This is, therefore, the intensest rendezvous.
It is in that thought that we collect ourselves,
Out of all the indifferences, into one thing:
Within a [...]

There is a Scream
Poem by Banach
Music by Dana Nolan
http://lucubrations.org/misc/Dana-There%20is%20a%20A%20Scream.mp3
There is a scream at the heart of things
in the pure sun streaming
tears through air
so crisp it crackles
pierced by beams
and in the fissures colors
vibrate
in
yellows reds and
green so deep it opens i [...]

A Young Man awoke to the sound of water crashing all about him. He put his feet out of his sleeping hammock and found them submerged up to his knees in water. At this realization he sprung out of bed like lightning and realized that the Present Future, a fine ship with great dignity must [...]
Letter to a Child by Bekah Dreyer
Letter to a Child
I have seen you weeping, crying, sobbing. You are afraid, lost, alone and weary of this journey. There is no way out of this for you but to let go. The only trouble is that you don’t know how. You don’t know how to forget, how to move on, how to find worth in yourself again. Everything is dark in your world and you thin [...]
