š¾ Today’s Poem ~ Like Barley Bending
Like Barley Bending
Sara Teasdale
Like barley bending
In low fields by the sea,
Singing in hard wind
Ceaselessly;
In low fields by the sea,
Singing in hard wind
Ceaselessly;
Like barley bending
And rising again,
So would I, unbroken,
Rise from pain;
So would I softly,
Day long, night long,
Change my sorrow
Into song.

Pete: “That is so sweet, what did you say?”
Joe: “I said, ‘Is that you talking or is it the wine.’ She said, ‘It’s me talking to the wine.'”
āļø Writersā Wisdom ~ Dreaming and Writing a Wonderful Dance
āThe thing about a story is that you dream it as you tell it, hoping that others might then dream along with you, and in this way memory and imagination and language combine to make spirits in the head. There is the illusion of aliveness.ā Ā ~Ā Ā
