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.

One of my favorite poets is actually not well known at all. She goes by e.h. on all of her poems but I believe her name is Erin Hanson. She writes very beautiful words that I have mostly found on Pinterest. Here is one of my favorite poems by her: Last year, I got a little book of classic poetry for Christmas.  Two o...
