By Dana Gioia
Blessed is the poem that doesn't go on too long.
(Blessed most among these perhaps is the sonnet?)
Blessed is the poem that actually says something.
Blessed is the poem that blesses the reader.
Blessed is the poem that blesses the writer.
Blessed is the poem that blesses us all.
Blessed is the poem that doesn't go on too long.
(Blessed most among these perhaps is the sonnet?)
Blessed is the poem that actually says something.
Blessed is the poem that blesses the reader.
Blessed is the poem that blesses the writer.
Blessed is the poem that blesses us all.
