On Poetry: “Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?”

July 7th, 2009 · No Comments · Poetry, Quote of the Day

This is the question posed to us by poet Mary Oliver in “The Summer Day”:

“Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?”

Think about that this summer while you’re reading, out in the yard, at the beach, at the park, in your living room, at the library. Here are some more poetry websites for you, for more inspiration. Maybe you’ll even decide to write a poem or two.
