Two Poems:
“Seventeen Funerals” by Richard Blanco
“Thank You Note for a Quilt” by Barbara Kingsolver
A Poem:
Not Today
by ljkemp
My selected poem today are about death, one in
tragedy, the other in the passing from one generation
to the next. But today I do not want to. I do not
want to sit in the sadness of death, to wallow in
writing of time and people of places gone by. My
eyes blooming open with the light of one more
morning, I want to fall in love with the time on my
hands. Today I want to live.
The sentence in italics is a combined sentence; clause before the comma from Blanco, and the clause after the comma from Kingsolver.
