Poetry Supplement

Okay, I'm finally getting around to posting this, since keeping the page open from Sunday on. First off, go read Poetry Sunday at Daylight Atheism. I'd never heard of A.R. Ammons before, so I hunted down a few more of his poems. I don't like all of them, but Design is quite good (and below the fold). I love the textures here.


Design
by A.R. Ammons

The drop seeps whole
from boulder-lichen
or ledge moss and drops,

joining, to trickle,
run, fall, dash,
sprawl in held deeps,

to rush shallows, spill
thin through heights,
but then, edging,

to eddy aside, nothing
of all but nothing's
curl of motion spent.
