Classic poem of the day

Silvers and purples breathing in a sky
Of fiery mid-days, like a watching tiger,
Of the restrained but passionate July
Upon the marshes of the river lie,
Like the filmed pinions of the dragon fly.

A whole horizon's waste of rushes bend
Under the flapping of the breeze's wing,
Departing and revisiting
The haunts of the river twisting without end.

Member poem of the day

The pacing ache of
powerless waiting and
contemplating the Greek of
“prognosis” for
the first time
while powerless
against the pacing
and pacing, and
waiting.
