Kooser’s Column 142
|
Posted by Linda Sue Grimes Dec 15, 2007 |
Former American poet laureate (2004-2006), Ted Kooser comments in his current column featuring Linda Gregg’s poem, “Elegance“: There's that old business about the tree falling in the middle of the forest with no one to hear it: does it make a noise? Here Linda Gregg, of New York, offers us a look at an elegant beauty that can be presumed to exist and persist without an observer.”
The following offers the first four lines:
All that is uncared for.
Left alone in the stillness
in that pure silence married
to the stillness of nature.
