Good to see my little Labor Day poem is still making waves all these years later.
Ricki Yasha Tarr@LadyDragonfly We were both thinking about poetry today lol
@RickiTarr oh did I miss your poem?
@LadyDragonfly Oh nothing that cool
What's That Prose To Mean Question!
What are a couple of your favorite lines of poetry?
What is their significance to you?
I'm a big fan of Rilke, especially The Book of Hours, I could have chosen a thousand different lines, and it was a tough choice between him and Pablo Neruda, but here we are:
You see, I want a lot.
Perhaps I want everything
the darkness that comes with every infinite fall
and the shivering blaze of every step up.
So many live on and want nothing
And are raised to the rank of prince
By the slippery ease of their light judgments
But what you love to see are faces
that do work and feel thirst.
You love most of all those who need you
as they need a crowbar or a hoe.
You have not grown old, and it is not too late
To dive into your increasing depths
where life calmly gives out its own secret.
