"Lying in a Hammock at William Duffy’s Farm in Pine Island, Minnesota" by James Wright
Literal, mundane, and a surprising last line.

I am an Enneagram 4, which means I get sad about things that aren’t over yet. Is it too early to be working on a poem called “Grief At Summer’s End?” 😆 #amwriting #writingcommunity #poetsofbluesky

The minutes before me are set aside for such creating. So consecrate this space and these moments, O Christ. Meet me in this hour as I hover over this chaos of raw materials and unrealized ideas. ~From “A Liturgy to Begin the Day’s Creative Labors” #amwriting #writingcommunity

How Does a Poem Mean?
The best way to learn how to write poetry is to read it with the eye of a writer.

“I tell you this to break your heart, by which I mean only that it break open and never close again to the rest of the world.” --Mary Oliver, “Lead” #smallpoemsunday #stunday #palmsunday
Slanted figures moved up and down the rolling ridge line. I turned a corner and the birds hidden in the field scattered as if I had disturbed a secret meeting. I held out my hand for the butterfly, but he was interested in everything else. #stunday #smallpoemsunday #amwriting

Another morning and I wake with thirst for the goodness I do not have. I walk out to the pond and all the way God has given us such beautiful lessons. Oh Lord, I was never a quick scholar… grant me, in your mercy, a little more time. #maryoliver #blueskyartshow #blueskymonday
What does the rainforest remember of an earth that was empty and formless, now with its canopies of stringing moss and slanted sunlight sneaking through the green wrappings of every tree? #stunday #smallpoemsunday #pacificnorthwest #amwriting #blueskypoets
