  1. Innaugural poet:
    an unexpected songbird singing
    on our clothesline

    • Hello, Jan. I’m so glad to share the joy of hearing his poem with you. I like your haiku so much that I’d like to post it on its own just following Richard Blanco’s reading. May I? I also was quite taken by his songbird line, and I think he was also moved as he read it. ~ Donna

  2. One sun. Yeah, this poem moved me. Thanks for posting it!

    • You’re very welcome. In turn, I read your postings on Richard Blanco’s Inaugural poem and other postings of his other poems. I like his voice, his sensibility, and that, I surmise, he thinks of himself as that songbird on a clothesline. Thanks for all that, Donna

      • Ah, the songbird. Yes, that works. Nice! Thank you.

The prerogative of the poet is to steal directly whatever is of use, without needing to theoretically kowtow via analysis, explicatio, critical cloning or proof of pc allegiance."
