National Poetry Month

[browngirl]

The poem is a little myth of man's capacity of making life meaningful. And in the end, the poem is not a thing we see -- it is, rather, a light by which we may see -- and what we see is life. Robert Penn Warren

So, I was never a very good poet, but I do love poetry, so I'm going to try to post a poem a day this upcoming month.

But I have looked down into
These rain-spear-stung streets
And found mirrored there
An unguessed beauty of dingy things:
Oh, I do not want realities!
Give me their misshapen lovely images
And unreached forms.
-Mark Turbyfill
