This resonates so deeply because it verges on perfection... really. I can come back to this and enjoy it for many many reasons, its music, its lilt, its deep awareness of joy and sorrow. The poem manifests nature's power in a very real, tangible way, as though you were Ariel herself commanding the spirits to dance at your command.

There is something here beyond what I see and feel, something that makes me linger, just like the bird's song. <br /><br />Loved this: <br />I sing Verdi, you sing Mozart.<br />I sing today and you sing tomorrow.<br /><br />We are the small and temporal things<br />appearing in the corner of your eye<br />when you flash past,Zoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16929674746784140738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-487059350883726456.post-2648801832530330702012-04-17T17:26:08.205-06:002012-04-17T17:26:08.205-06:00I love this blackbird pride.

It captures the elation that goes with the quick sight of those red wings--I especially like the Verdi Mozart lines as they somehow manage to rhyme. The congregating motes--the small and temporal things--a congregating motet here--just terrific. <br /><br />Thanks for your kind words about my poem, which is rather a modest one, but I have been very very very busy with work, and doing a new poem a day and didn't feel linking up one of the posts of the draft poems. My best was probably my own blackbird one--though they are not red-winged blackbirds--you don't have to go to it - a joke on Wallace Stevens.
