Poetry and Prose: A Poetry Blog

Through Poetry

“Oh, there isn’t any, when you put it that way,” gasped Anne, rather as if somebody had thrown cold water over her. “I suppose that’s how it looks in prose. But it’s very different if you look at it through poetry…and I think it’s nicer…” Anne recovered herself and her eyes shone and her cheeks flushed…”to look at it through poetry.”

Anne of Avonlea, L. M. Montgomery

A blog on Poetry and Prose.


Here is looking at it all 
through poetry, through rhyme 
and the shine of unshed tears and 
unsaid words, birds of fleeting emotions flitting by, just as alive 
as the everpresent eagle.
For words might lie, shy away from reality, try, try harder
words might cry tears of desperate ink,
try again
but words never die.
