April is National Poetry Month and April 18th is Poem in Your Pocket Day. It's a day for sharing poems that you like. Pick out a poem and carry it with you to share with friends, family, and co-workers.
Here's my pick for 2013.
DESIGN
I found a dimpled spider, fat and white,
On a white heal-all, holding up a moth
Like a white piece of rigid satin cloth--
Assorted characters of death and blight,
Mixed ready to begin the morning right,
Like the ingredients of a witch's broth--
A snow-drop spider, a flower like a froth
And dead wings carried like a paper kite.
What had that flower to do with being white,
The wayside blue and innocent heal-all?
What brought the kindred spider to that height,
Then steered the white moth thither in the night?
What but design of darkness to appall?--
If design govern in a thing so small?
Robert Frost (1874 - 1963)
