It's National Poetry Month, if DT hasn't issued an executive order to banish it yet. (He seems determined to destroy everything I love, so I guess it's just a matter of time.)
To celebrate poetry this month, I'm sharing a few lines from a poem I love along with an illustration I drew or a photo I took. I'll include a link to the entire poem below.
A new morning from my window in the Piedmont area of Italy, 2023
New Every Morning
Susan Coolidge
...Every day is a fresh beginning;
Listen, my soul, to the glad refrain,
And, spite of old sorrow and older sinning,
And puzzles forecasted and possible pain,
Take heart with the day, and begin again.
The full poem, "New Every Morning" by Susan Coolidge, is here.

Perfectly said. Beautiful poem.

ReplyDeleteLovely poem, and a beautiful view.
ReplyDelete"Take heart with the day, and begin again." What good words, so very needed by me, by all of us. Thanks. Parenthetically, your use of the initials DT made me chuckle and think of the "DT's" (delirium tremens). Apt.
