Poet's Corner: William Carlos Williams
pecorfamily.com I want to end the week with good energy, and a change in seasons would do just that for me. Enjoy the giddiness this poem provokes with its promise of pink flowers and warm breezy days. April By William Carlos Williams If you had come away with me into another state we had been quiet together. But there the sun coming up out of the nothing beyond the lake was too low in the sky, there was too great a pushing against him, too much of sumac buds, pink in the head with the clear gum upon them, too many opening hearts of lilac leaves, too many, too many swollen limp poplar tassels on the bare branches! It was too strong in the air. I had no rest against that springtime! The pounding of the hoofs on the raw sods stayed with me half through the night. I awoke smiling but tired.
