Think you would like W.S. Merwin's poetry

Be well

[Misty Violet]

Thank you very much for the recommendation. From first impressions, I think you’re right!

[Phoenix F.]

That tree be danglin. I like the no-punctuation. "Coldly highstepping slick rotten velvet of ice steeped oak leaves" is a good line and cemented the grounding imagery of this one.

[Misty Violet]

Thanks Phoenix! Doesn’t he look happy to be hanging around?

[C J O'Hare]

This one's got a wicked beat to it.

[Misty Violet]

Thank you kindly!

[Wil Price]

The rhythm of that opening stanza is so enjoyable!

[Jeremy Marks]

I imagine that "sure-footed swimmer" could be anyone.😊

What a great epithet by the way.
