Poetry Friday: Because You Asked About the Line Between Prose and Poetry
"Because You Asked About the Line Between Prose and Poetry" by Howard Nemerov is so short--just six lines-- that I don't think I can even post a teaser here without violating copyright.
I adore that poem, Karen. Thank you for setting it in front of me today. I needed to see it right now, as some poems for a project are feeling too prosey. :>)
I was so caught up in the words and image that I actually missed the rhyme until the third read. Ummm... Perhaps my lack of experience with snow also made me read carefully.
Ah. Now, that's lovely. I do love that Howard.
