Poets United Midweek Motif ~ One Day in the Life of ...

“What day is it,?” asked Pooh.
“It’s today,” squeaked Piglet.
“My favorite day,” said Pooh.”

Midweek Motif ~ 

One Day in the Life of ...

. . . a person?  a place?  a thing?  

Make a poem.

“Choose the least important day in your life. It will be important enough.” 
― Thornton Wilder, Our Town

“Ten times a day something happens to me like this - some strengthening 

throb of amazement - some good sweet empathic ping and swell. 

This is the first, the wildest and the wisest thing I know: that 

the soul exists and is built entirely out of attentiveness.” 

― Mary Oliver

Richard Cory

We people on the pavement looked at him:

He was a gentleman from sole to crown,

Clean favored, and imperially slim.

And he was always quietly arrayed,

And he was always human when he talked;

But still he fluttered pulses when he said,

"Good-morning," and he glittered when he walked.
