A Poem A Day!

Dear Kirkland, check out this lovely blog by your fellow sophomore Kirklander Talia Lavin. A free poem, every day!?
Who could ask for more?

So, check out Lavin's words here.

A sampling of one my favorites...

Night Poem
by Talia Lavin

I can only write poems at night
while the moon looks on like a lamprey's mouth.
The cold light settles at my window.
I want to bake black bread
and scatter the loaves in the street.
The kettle on the range sings like an urge
unspent, the last fruits hang, swollen bellies,
dripping their musk on ryegrass
yellow with seed. The ennobling question
sinks further and further in unseated hearts,
refused by speech,
while the moon gluts itself on the cobbles,
blanched teeth in too many pools of light.

Be sure to keep checking out A Poem A Day!

and remember, if any other talented or bloggy Kirklanders want to share the love, please send me a link to your site. Don't have a site?
We would love to post your artistic works here :)


side note: I was browsing flickr for a photo I could use to go along with Talia's poem, and found this image by daruma. Turns out it was a major inspiration for a 3rd grade class's poetry writing session. Coincidence? maybe. poem/photo soulmates? yes. their poem is kind of awesome too.
