Funny that you should share this poem, I wanted to end the Two Writing Teachers post I just write with this poem, for it connected so well to a writing exercise Linda Rief had us undertake that involved painting and shells. Those last lines connected to the idea of finding our stories in unexpected places - but my post was long and I left it out. Such a treat to arrive here and see it! It's one of my favorite Oliver poems...

I hope you get this house complete and out of your mind soon, Carol. I'm off to MO to see family, then hope to get together sometime for coffee.
