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.

Read the rest of the poem here.
