I had thought, 'Oh, Ruth is going to explicate in prose today!' First thing I see is a baby (such a beautiful baby) and think, 'What a great way to introduce the subject.' <br /><br />On the content of the poem: I agree with it enthusiastically. This line gets the reader close:<br /><br />'Fossick the meaning in his fists"<br /><br />it sounds so good to my ear, and it's so true, the word "fossick" just right for us old folks bending over and catching something in our doddering way of the open, ongoing wonder of the universe. I could also think of this as "how to write a poem" - I love it.Mark Kerstetterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13307987573435067415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21312708.post-29969176930053352412012-04-16T11:44:09.584-04:002012-04-16T11:44:09.584-04:00Ruth, this is trembling beauty!Ruth, this is trembling beauty!Rosaria Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03133147851332084180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21312708.post-61495849024261048532012-04-16T11:32:05.571-04:002012-04-16T11:32:05.571-04:00Lovely--I love that age, where they are speaking i...Lovely--I love that age, where they are speaking in bird language, and where they are non-stop inputting everything they see--what a sensory overload it must be after spending all that time in the quiet dark.
