walk

cloud shortened walk
The moon gave no light

. . . . . . . .

The OED word of the day for the erasure poem is 'walk,' which I figured would have about 14 pages of citations. But no, this is the alternate sense of the noun, with only two Old English citations, meaning 'clouds,' as in "the moon is under walk." Glad that one got left in the dust; too much "wiðerweardnesse" as King Alfred wrote in the 9th century.

a special place

as a kind of grateful Expression,
work Til poetry, if it please you,
Rhymes.

Paradise might not keep you out
since a Verse
woven in the breadth of Life
is Sacred

It is surprising how difficult it is


Don't get caught without plenty of new Poetry
because Age
(forget the patterns)
is a special place

The OED word of the day for the erasure poem is 'repeat.'
