“The armored cars of dreams contrived to let us do
so many a dangerous thing“

Remembering Elizabeth Bishop on her birthday.

”Open the heavy book. Why couldn‘t we have seen this old Nativity while we were at it?
—the dark ajar, the rocks breaking with light,
an undisturbed, unbreathing flame,
colorless, sparkless, freely fed on straw,
and, lulled within, a family with pets,
—and looked and looked our infant sight away.”

MayJasper Thanks for the link. My favourite stanza was: Its cold, round crystals
form and slide and settle
in the white hens‘ feathers,
in gray glazed cabbages,
on the cabbage roses
and lupins like apostles;

Thank you @Trashcanman for telling me about Elizabeth Bishop. She‘s complex enough I can‘t read her on my breaks at work but she makes the commutes to and fro more pleasant.

Trashcanman Oh wow I'm so glad you decided to read her poetry. She is amazingly talented. So descriptive and, if I'm being honest. At times leaves me scratching my head which is where the growth happens for me. 6y
Trashcanman BTW... 🤗🤗🤗 6y
jmofo @Trashcanman yep. I am totally not picking up on everything she put down, but I‘m planning on acquiring my own copy of this so I‘m being a bit casual with this read. I love all of the times she writes about where water meets land. And all of the sea birds! And how she writes about the intersections between people.💗 Just wonderful. Thank you TCM. 6y
Trashcanman @jmofo you're most welcome. I hope this week is a kind one. 💕 6y
jmofo @Trashcanman thank you. I hope so too. I hope you have some loveliness ahead for you as well. 🤗 6y

I really got into #poetry after taking a semester of contemporary poetry in college. I loved Elizabeth Bishop (one of my faves of hers above) and I also love W.B. Yeats, D.H. Lawrence, and Margaret Atwood. Check them out! #augustphotochallenge #augustofpages

Makatma I love this one! 8y

3/5 of my favorite poem. https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems-and-poets/poems/detail/47536 if you don't want it truncated like a Southern person classified as a slave in the Census. #AugustPhotoChallenge

Yossarian Thanks! "Tension" by Billy Collins is one of my all-time favorites too. @Makatma 8y
Draccah Love Billy Collins. And thanks for posting this. 8y
