April is National Poetry Month

April is National Poetry Month.  It also happens to be my birthday month, so it's well and good that two great things happen concurrently. 

You don't have to be a scholar to enjoy this small poem that shouts large. 


Six Lines for Louise Bogan
By Michael Collier

 

All that has tamed me I have learned to love

and lost that wildness that was once beloved.

All that was loved I’ve learned to tame

and lost the beloved that once was wild.

All that is wild is tamed by love—

and the beloved (wildness) that once was loved.
