Welcome to the 343rd Virtual Poetry Circle!Remember, this is just for fun and is not meant to be stressful.Keep in mind what Molly Peacock’s book suggested.Look at a line, a stanza, sentences, and images; describe what you like or don’t like; and offer an opinion. If you missed my review of her book, check it out here.This poem is from Tess Gallagher:
Choices
I go to the mountain side
of the house to cut saplings,
and clear a view to snow
on the mountain. But when I look up,
saw in hand, I see a nest clutched in
the uppermost branches.
I don’t cut that one.
I don’t cut the others either.
Suddenly, in every tree,
an unseen nest
where a mountain
would be.
