That's a wonderful poem, Tom. Thank you for posting that. I'm so not a prose-poem lover and generally I find it distasteful enough that I don't even bother reading it. I'm glad you and Katie pointed these out to me and that I trust you both enough to read something I'm incredibly dead-set against. My fault for being silly and pigheaded and terminally biased, but still.....it's a bias that's weakening little by little and that's a good thing.
I also found one all by myself that I really enjoyed and admired. It's titled
"Please Take Back the Sparrows" by Suzanne Buffam and it was posted on
Verse Daily last week. Since I am unsure of the proper etiquette in posting other people's poems, I will simply add a link and suggest anyone reading this check it out for themselves.
