My favorite poem so far, Paul Muldoon’s “As”.

I’m discovering some poets/poetry that I must follow up. Some have been on my list, others are new.

From Long Live Spring by Juan Ramon Jimenez:
Springtime comes with a desire for purity.. All night she has been awake beautifying herself, bathing in the light of the full moon.. The pale gold of nine o’clock is enough to make her a queen. Yes, the dirty buds on the trees on the piers smile with a blond grace…sparrows on the fire escapes sing matters of gold…a pink band in the east enchants..signs on the towers
