Sharing Poetry: Robert Graves, "In Broken Images" →
sharingpoetry:
He is quick, thinking in clear images; I am slow, thinking in broken images. He becomes dull, trusting to his clear images; I become sharp, mistrusting my broken images. Trusting his images, he assumes their relevance; Mistrusting my images, I question their relevance. Assuming their relevance,…

Sharing Poetry: Dylan Thomas, "Being But Men" →
sharingpoetry:
Being but men, we walked into the trees Afraid, letting our syllables be soft For fear of waking the rooks, For fear of coming Noiselessly into a world of wings and cries. If we were children we might climb, Catch the rooks sleeping, and break no twig, And, after the soft ascent, Thrust…

Sharing Poetry: Jacek Podsiadlo, "Grass Accepts" →
sharingpoetry:
The grass accepts the cigarette ends & brown crawly things thrown out of the tent. The earth, the largest orphanage in the universe, patiently tolerates our childish whims & antics. Our tears & shooting at each other, pouring salt into the fruit salad & placing bombs underneath things. A…

Margaret Atwood, from "Letters, Towards and Away"

I.
