Wake to Words and Brew Some Coffee (February 26, 2023)

We have reached the last Sunday of February, and while that makes calendar sense, the snow coming down outside my window makes less mental sense when the longing for Spring has taken to blooming in the hope muscle.

Here are this week's poems:

 

Poems read:

• Flight by Linda L. Beeman (from her book Wallace, Idaho)
• The Poet at Seven by Donald Justice (from his book The Summer Anniversaries)
• All the Dead Dears by Sylvia Plath (from The Collected Poems of Sylvia Plath, edited by Ted Hughes)
• The Blue Flannel Suit by Ted Hughes (from his book Birthday Letters)
