Sometimes there are poems you wish you didn't have to write. Thoughts you wish you didn't have to think. News you wish you didn't have to watch. Facts you wish you didn't have to know.
Yesterday at The Drift Record, Julie Larios shared "Seal Lullaby" by Rudyard Kipling along with photographs of the oil spill in the Gulf.
What can any of us say?

Thank you for this poignant and stark poem. It says so much in very few words--naming a sad reality that leaves me feeling empty and sad.
ReplyDeleteDeborah said just what I'm thinking...how can I feel more raw than I did after reading Julie Larios' selection...but I do. Tears jump to my eyes. I am not proud to be a human right now...
ReplyDeleteThank you for your notes today. That poem was just out there...I only got to write it down. So sad.

Beautiful poem. Where is the Manhattan Project for clean energy? I am feeling the secondary emotion of anger...
