Where has Roethke been all my poetic life? Suddenly he's here. I'll stay up late tonight looking for more diamonds in his mine.

Thanks for the two poems. Both startling perspectives from unexpected places. The last line of Child on Top of a Greenhouse is amazing. I wonder if the child found safety. I'd like to think s/he did. "Child" and "poet" are synonyms in many ways.
