Poem of the Week: Requiem for a Nest by Wanda Coleman @centerforpoetry instagram.com/p/CoDCJwMpBOM/…
Our Poem of the Week is Found Letter by Joshua Weiner. Found Letter is a poem about blessings and thanks. This poem encapsulates the feeling of achievement by just being alive and of how no matter how hard times seen, spirits cling to people like kites to a child.
Found Letter
By Joshua Weiner
What makes for a happier life, Josh, comes to this:
Gifts freely given, that you never earned;
Open affection with your wife and kids;
Clear pipes in winter, in summer screens that fit;
Few days in court, with little consequence;
And sleep to trim the long night coming;
Knowledge of who you are, the wish to be
None other; freedom to forget the time;
To know the soul exceeds where it’s confined
Yet does not seek the terms of its release,
A quiet mind, a strong body, short hours
In the office; close friends who speak the truth;
Good food, cooked simply; a memory that’s rich
Enough to build the future with; a bed
In which to love, read, dream, and re-imagine love;
A warm, dry field for laying down in sleep,
Deals galore on Wheelbarrow Books and more!
