W. H. Auden
by Joseph
W.H. Auden said that poetry makes nothing happen,
But what did he know?
He was a poet in the midst of creation
A will 'o the wisp
A cat on the fence
A dog lying in the manger
Thoughts build cities, ideas build civilizations
Art builds castles in which dreams reside
The poet captures the light of life
And holds it for a minute
Just in time to capture it
Before letting go...
