NOTICE!

For some reason I can add sidebars, but not new posts. Please check back later. I have been working on a variety of things including switching my blog soon from this one, which was set up with my now-defunct West Wisconsin Telcom account. I hope to have my new blog through Gmail up soon. I will provide a link and announcement when I've got everything straight. 7/2/11

April is National Poetry Month

Get your daily poem from http://www.flcenterlitarts.com/

Time continues to get ahead of me as I spend my days rustling through boxes. However, there’s still enough of the month left to get in on the Daily Poetry Blast from the Florida Center for the Literary Arts at Miami Dade College. Sign up by emailing fcla@mdc.edu to get your daily poem through the end of the month. Today’s poem is by e.e. cummings, titled “i carry your heart with me.”

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)
