"In the Evening" by Me
In the Evening. . . Sitting down, I look into the eyes Of my cat who's perched on the mound Of books and others likewise the room is not very clean but the setting sun through the windows makes it serene In the evenings I write, diving into a different world for an hour or two. As I create, ideas take flight, I work to write something true. My green-eyed girl comes down from the desk to hop in my lap to flop down and curl. Stopping for a second, I look out into the encroaching blue, at the sun and fog and clouds, and wonder how anyone would get anything done with such a view. ☆☆☆
Two-Headed Calf by Laura Gilpin
I present to you, Two-Headed Calf by Laura Gilpin! I really like this poem, it's really strange and bizarre upon the first read but when you read it more than once you'll begin to understand it more. It's almost like the more you read it the more you'll discover. It's also very short, so reading it multiple times hardly takes any time at all. Here is a really great analysis of this poem if you're interested: https://www.artdiscourse.net/two-headed-calf/ ✰✰✰
