God Gave A Loaf To Every Bird
by Emily Dickinson

Hello, and welcome back again to Poetry Wednesday 02/11/09.

You can sign in today and take the tour thru Thursday, so take your time.

I’ll be your hostess again this week. My sister, Sans Souci, is on a break, putting together her own poetry book, but she will check in.

Before we get started, please make sure that your post has a link to get back to this page to make it easier to take the tour:

1) Copy and paste the following link that I have provided for you from this page to somewhere on your poetry post.

Link back to the Poetry Wednesday tour on Laurita’s page

2) Leave the link of your poetry post in the comments section below. This is the link guests will click on to read your poem (see my post below as an example).

You are listening to:

Air and Simple Gifts
by John Williams
Performed by Itzhak Perlman, Yo-Yo Ma, Anthony Mcgill, and Gabriela Montella at the inauguration of Barack Obama.

When I listened to this piece, I got such a surge of different emotions. It sounds very serious and sad, but then I feel spurts of hope. I think this is such an unusual piece of music.  

It’s a new tour…and a new dawn.

deletereply billatplay wrote on Feb 9, ’09 I comment here on Laurita’s Poem. The poem was wonderful and so sad as my mind thought of hunger A crumb kept in reserve in a time when each crumb was savoured until its after taste had disappeared into an empty stomach. A time when humanity was lost and savagery ruled. A time when the Idol of Hate ruled in Europe.

deletereply sanssouciblogs wrote on Feb 10, ’09 Hi everyone. I am enlisting your help again this week: I am going back to a poem that needed editing mainly for the purpose of reducing the lines of lyrics to adhere to copyright  rules, In the meantime, My husband began to deconstruct the poem and left me very anxious and I began to edit. It may be clearer or it may have lost something. I would very much welcome your input. You were masters last week and I thank you. http://sanssouciblogs.multiply.com/journal/item/536/349._
