| Introduction | Everything I want to make poems that say right out, plainly What I mean, that don’t go looking for the Laces of elaboration, puffed sleeves. I want to Keep close and use often words like Heavy, heart, joy, soon, and to cherish The question mark and her bold sister The dash. I want to write with quiet hands. I Want to write while crossing the fields that are Fresh with daisies and everlasting and the Ordinary grass. I want to make poems while thinking of The bread of heaven and the Cup of astonishment; let them be Songs in which nothing is neglected, Not a hope, not a promise. I want to make poems that look into the earth and the heavens And see the unseeable. I want them to honor both the heart of faith, and the light of the world The gladness that says, without any words, everything. --Mary Oliver I'm no poet, but this is what I'd like for my blog to do. |
