#PoetryMatters Day 3: #Unbending
“How can I be kind? How can I find bird-relief in the nest-building of day-to-day? Necessity supplies no velvet wing with which to escape. I am indeed and mortally pierced with the seeds of love.”
Remembering Elizabeth Smart on her birthday.

I'm 💯 a tree sprite. Are you?
#idiominsight of course #ADimeADozen means more like , I had so many ripe zucchini at harvest time , I couldn‘t even get a dime a dozen for them.😄But I thought of old Dime stores like Woolworth‘s or Sprouse-Reitz where a kid with some change could find a toy or cheap candy. I swooned over the paperback book racks and the comic rack!
I don't read a lot of poetry because it just doesn't resonate with me the way it does for other people. I read this collection of prose poetry because one of my #Storygraph reading challenges has a prompt for a book that won a Pulitzer the year I was born. These poems are interesting and unsettling, and you can feel a lot of war influence in them. #Poetry
“A pen is a furious weapon. But it needs a rage of will. Everything physical dies but you can send a mad look to the end of time.“
I will admire the Canadian writer Elizabeth Smart eternally.
