“Introduction to Poetry”
by Billy Collins
I ask them to take a poem
and hold it up to the light
like a color slide
or press an ear against its hive…
“Because You Asked about the line between Prose and Poetry”
by Howard Nemerov
Sparrows were feeding in a freezing drizzle
That while you watched turned to pieces of snow
****
Other booknotes: Tale of Tom Kitten; Odyssey for Children (Beanie); 1984 (Jane). Rose read a stack of Seuss to Huck.

(has the server which holds you blog been having trouble? Because it’s been very difficult to access Bonny Glen lately …)

I heard the server was down this morning briefly due to a traffic surge (not traffic to this site specifically). You’ve had trouble other times as well? Hmm…disturbing. I’ll look into it. Thanks for the heads-up.
