...There is no light—
Only a honey-thick stain
That drips from leaf to leaf
And limb to limb
Spoiling the colours
Of the whole world.
I am alone.
The weight of love
Has buoyed me up
Till my head
Knocks against the sky.
See me!
My hair is dripping with nectar—
Starlings carry it
On their black wings.
See, at last
My arms and my hands
Are lying idle.
How can I tell
If I shall ever love you again
As I do now?...

A pretty excellent haul from the cherry tree yesterday evening, with another three quarters left to come once they’re ripe. They’re so sweet and good that if I had been born William Carlos Williams I’d be writing a pithy little poem about them right now. #iamnotwilliamcarloswilliams #wcw #williamcarloswilliams #cherries #gardening #fruittrees #cherrytree #garden #homeproduce #fruit #poetry #horticulture #bbcgardenersworld #harvest #red #homegrown #diyculture (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce80hTzIN1H/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

William Carlos Williams
Irgendwo zwischen den Jahren.
Wo man nicht weiß, was man mit dem übrigen Wirrwarr aus Tagen noch anfangen soll.
Wie mit ein paar übrigen Buchstaben beim Scrabble-Spiel,
aus denen sich keine ganzen Worte mehr formen lassen.
Nur ein verstümmelter Kauderwelsch.
Von dem,
wie von einer roten Schubkarre,
so vieles abhängt.
Nur leider auch alles
und nichts.
Und egal wie sehr man diese
rote Schubkarre,
draußen bei den weißen Hühnern,
mit Bedeutung füllt -
wie die Weihnachtsgans vorm Fest -
kommt man dort an, wo man angefangen hat.
Und tut es dem Namen des Autors gleich.

Time to paint the treehouse red. It’s not a wheelbarrow, but William Carlos Williams should like it. #williamcarloswilliams #redtreehouse #treehouse #atgrandmas #red #redpaint #painting #housepaint https://www.instagram.com/p/CCL_IEFBszX/?igshid=y7dfy7gfw2xd

#kimickaphotoaday Day 21: Poetry #WorldPoetryDay Some of my favorite lines of poetry from some of my favorite poets, starting with a haiku I wrote in my 10th grade English class 10 years ago. (O.o) Followed by lines from Sandra Cisneros (I had the honor of being a member of the 1st university class exclusively focused on her work, and meeting her at our symposium at the end of the semester, in 2017), William Carlos Williams (this poem was on the board everyday in my first creative writing class), Wallace Stevens, Lord Byron (my fave Romantic poet), and T.S Eliot. I have more favorite lines and poets, but we’ll keep it to these few for now. Lol. #poems #haiku #sandracisneros #williamcarloswilliams #lordbyron #tseliot #wallacestevens #linesofpoetry #loosewoman #darkness #sundaymorning #shewalksinbeauty #thelovesongofjalfredprufrock #photo #photoaday #photoadaychallenge https://www.instagram.com/p/B-BGXtcpVin/?igshid=146h8bmujj94h

So much depends upon this. This is the grave of New Jersey poet William Carlos Williams in Lyndhurst, NJ, flanked by his son William and wife Florence. This afternoon I attended a memorial service (on what would have been my Dad’s 87th and my grandmother’s 118th birthday) at a gravesite just several yards away from here, the final resting place of my first boss at the New York Telephone Co. Like Dr. Williams, my mentor was a talented writer and editor. #williamcarloswilliams #foundinnj (at Hillside Cemetery) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtHTIOvA2uj/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1gkb55ekfo4mf

تهنها ویستم بڵێم
ههڵووژهكانی
ناو سهلاجهكهم
خوارد
ڕهنگه دهتویست
بۆ خواردنی بهیانی
رایانبگری
لێم ببووره
گهلێك بهتام بوون
زۆر شیرین
و زۆر سارد بوون
