Does This Help?

Because You Asked About the Line Between Prose and Poetry

By: Howard Nemerov


Sparrows were feeding in a freezing drizzle
That while you watched turned into pieces of snow
Riding a gradient invisible
From silver aslant to random, white, and slow.

There came a moment that you couldn’t tell.
And then they clearly flew instead of fell.

It's a beautiful little piece though.

How's the Hummingbird?

Played it for about 4 hours yesterday. The sound is remarkable.
