Poets corner

sometimes we get so wrapped up in what birds we see and count that we don't take the time to stand back and see the big picture of nature's beauty. Poetry helps us take a broader view.

The world begins again!

Not wholly insufflated

the blackbirds in the rain

upon the dead top branches

of the living tree,

stuck fast to the low clouds,

notate the dawn.

Their shrill cries wound

announcing appetite

and drop among the bending roses

and the dripping grass.

William Carlos Williams
