Friday Poetry Blogging


[apologies as usual for missing indents--does anyone know how to do this?]

To Kevin O'Leary, Wherever He Is

Denise Levertov


Dear elusive Prince of Ireland,
I have received
from Arizona
your letter, with no return address
but telling me
my name in Hebrew, and its meaning:
entrance, exit,
way through of
giving and receiving,
which are one.
Hallelujah! It's as if you'd sent me
in the U.S. mails
a well of water,
a frog at its brim, and mosses;
sent me a cold and sweet freshness
dark to taste.
Love from the door,
Daleth.

Hi Sarah,

I like the mix of poetry and observations in prose that you've created. I discovered your blog by accident (sometimes, that "Next Blog" button on the toolbar is a good thing) and I'm glad I was randomly directed your way.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to exploring the rest of your blog.

Best,
Michael

Indenting is kind of complicated, actually, in HTML.

You have to insert a tag like this one:
<div style="text-indent: 40px;"> (where the larger the number, the greater the indentation) before the line you want indented. Then at the end of the line you add </div>
