#PoetryMatters #tree

“....What joy it was, that almost found me?
What amiable peace?

Then it was over, the wind
Roused up in the oak trees behind me...”

A favourite poet of mine, lately I've been reading two or three of these poems, first thing each morning. Mary Oliver treads a path between craft and grace and, paying attention primarily to aspects of the natural world encountered in her daily life, she expresses deep feeling here but without a lot of noisy and exhausting human drama.

She is one of those treasured writers who enable me to love this life more.

Sparrows, silver birches, the ducks at the modest local pond... they have my heart, as do my nearest and dearest, but the human world in general I struggle with. So that's another reason I read, to get to know Sunja, Mitya, Lyra, Jane: to love better.

Libby1 Wow. ❤️ 7y

Reading poetry in the park at lunchtime with sunlight peeking through leaves on my book's pages is perfection.

... and it flew off as my mind sang out oh, all that loose, blue rink of sky, where does it go to and why?
