Draft-Drift

 Feeling my way into a new poem?


NOT AN OAR

BUT A RUDDER


That's how I heard it -- those lines --in my sleep last night.

Not sure where the poem will go.

It reminds me of the beginning of a poem from long ago:


Nights, I built fires

From the wood you did not chop.


We shall see which words shall drop.

Reading Around: Cooper, Captain, and Wilson

 


Reading around:

Susan Cooper's The Grey King and Angus Wilson's Anglo-Saxon Attitudes.

The introduction by Jane Smiley is particularly astute.

Captain is the cat in the photo.
