Since I first posted this, March 8, 2009, The poem has appeared six times over the years. “I’ve always thought poetry represented the awareness of something. The minute you really notice a thing – e.g., the sound of a mailbox opening in a blizzard – it enters the world of the poetic. In other words, there are two worlds – the one where things stay silent and unnoticed, and the one where everything is amazingly phosphorescent.” — kenne








Now that’s a useful poetic credo!
