"Why Are Your Poems So Dark?
Isn’t the moon dark too, most of the time?
And doesn’t the white page seem unfinished
without the dark stain of alphabets?
When God demanded light, he didn’t banish darkness.
Instead he invented ebony and crows
and that small mole on your left cheekbone
Or did you mean to ask 'Why are you sad so often?'
Ask the moon. Ask what it has witnessed."
—Linda Pastan
This is how i imagine my poems.
"WORD FACT
A phrasal anagram is a two-word phrase whose words use exactly the same letters in the same quantities.
Some personal favourites:
Remote meteor
Supersonic percussion
Soapstone teaspoons
Integral triangle
Persistent prettiness
Aristotelian retaliations
Daemonic comedian (the title of my next poetry collection....)" —@anthonyetherin
