Poet’s Corner – Women’s Words
[On Reading Mary Oliver, H.D., Emily Dickinson and Dorothea Tanning]
Walking the path of poetic thoughts
Entering the natural world
Marveling at its unique essence
In form, color and birth,
Capturing the seeds of words unspoken
To touch and feel
The growth of life as they appear,
Not to change
The natural course –
Wings of birds,
The tops of trees and moss overgrown.
The thread of time
Speaks clearly
In poetic voices
As women respond to the uniqueness,
Taken inward and outward again.
