- [ a true poet ] at allpoetry
a true poet could shape this knowing - [ my home lies ] at allpoetry
my home lies / amidst a great span of nothing / and my heart is full / of startlingly beautiful / things of little significance / I love no ones / and ache at the splendor / that stretches across now - peace at allpoetry
I found some peace today - / it blew across my skin / with the dust, / stirred by the morning breeze / and I walked from mottled shadows / into clear light / and saw grace shining / on my skin.

on Wanting to Die by Anne Sexton, on October 12, 2005this is one of the only poems I've read about suicide that didn't seem overly dramatic or obnoxious--it's matter-of-fact, and perfectly honest.

on Cigarettes And Whiskey And Wild, Wild Women by Anne Sexton, on October 12, 2005I like it.. it has a sense of desperation and cynicism mingled with hope.. I think it's powerful.
wow
This is a beautiful poem... the imagery is fantastic and the sense I get, reading, is that it is about a very pure love: not pure as in immaculate, but pure as in natural and deep and clear.. especially the line, "you warm still thing". The image of the doves is especially touching because they go in pairs, and thus it's an appropriate analogy.
