A few poems I was introduced to the other day.

What the Living Do, Marie Howe

You Are Jeff, Richard Siken

Wandering Around an Alberquerque Airport Terminal, Naomi Shihab Nye

This'll do until I can get round to updating my poetry book. Do other people do that? I have an epub I've made myself (and I can tell you, I'm proud of the formatting), filled with the poetry I like best.

Sharp Women with Teeth

Silent Rebellion

Liminal Spaces

A Woman Looks at the Universe

The Unbearable Delight of Being

Rueful Loves

Gifts from English Classes

Feel free to bring up other poems you like in the comments, if you feel moved, or ask for others. I'm in a mood.

The ABQ airport poem makes me happy every time I see it.

Right? It's such a quiet expression of kindness that leads to more kindness and joy and ripples outwards. I love it.
