The SandhillsThe language of craneswe once were toldis the wind. The windis their method, their current, the translated storyof life they write across the sky.Millions of yearsthey have blown hereon ancestral longing,their wings of wide arrival,necks long, legs stretched outabove strands of earthwhere they arrivewith the shine of water,stories, interminablelanguage of exchangesdescended from the skyand then they stand,earth made only of cranefrom bank to bank of the riveras far as you can seethe ancient story made new.--Linda Hogan#VerseThursday #TodaysPoem #reading #poetry @bookstodon(Art credit: Martha Lancaster)

A MomentI take an old woman a glass of waterShe has few pleasures left in life.It's cold and sharpHill spring it says on the bottle.She cups the tumbler as a chaliceAnd sips from a mountain springAs a child she'd drunk in streams.She smiles at the genie insideAnd offers me a taste: it's sweet.I hand it back and we make a toastFingers touching around the glassCareful not to spill one drop of magic.--Beda Higgins#VerseThursday #TodaysPoem #poetry @bookstodon (Art credit: Thelma Winter)

Siren SongThis is the one song everyone would like to learn: the song that is irresistible: the song that forces men to leap overboard in squadrons even though they see beached skulls the song nobody knows because anyone who had heard it is dead, and the others can’t remember. Shall I tell you the secret and if I do, will you get me out of this bird suit? I don’t enjoy it here squatting on this island looking picturesque and mythical with these two feathery maniacs, I don’t enjoy singing this trio, fatal and valuable. I will tell the secret to you, to you, only to you. Come closer. This song is a cry for help: Help me! Only you, only you can, you are unique at last. Alas it is a boring song but it works every time.-Margaret Atwood#VerseThursday #TodaysPoem #poetry #MARM @bookstodon(Art credit: Jacqueline Hudson)

It was winter, near freezing,I'd walked through a forest of firswhen I saw issue out of the waterfalla solitary bird.It lit on a damp rock,and, as water swept stupidly on,wrung from its own throatsupple, undammable song.It isn't mine to give.I can't coax this bird to my handthat knows the depth of the riveryet sings of it on land.-- The Dipper by Kathleen Jamie from 'Selected Poems'#VerseThursday #TodaysPoem #poetry #CurrentlyReading @bookstodon(Art credit: Deborah Butts)
