POETRY FRIDAY

Next week we will begin what I hope will be a new era of peace. 

It seems a time for a poem of peace.

VARIATIONS ON AN OLD RHYME

John Mole

This is the blackbird that wakes with a song.

This is the sun

That shines for the blackbird that wakes with a song.

This is the earth

That welcomes the sun

That shines for the blackbird that wakes with a song.

This is the snow that fell through the night

That covers the earth

That welcomes the sun

That shines for the blackbird that wakes with a song.
