8 New Ways of Looking At a Blackbird

Eight (NEW) ways of looking at a blackbird Inspired by the poem, Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird, by Wallace Stevens I. The blackbird tilted its head and lakes froze in anticipation II.

The blackbird can only dream if it fly’s the blackbird can only fly if it dreams V. The blackbird broke the silence all things are now possible VI. The morning glories bloom In late autumn In my throat is the song of the blackbird VII. Frozen pine cones, falling in slow, cold motion into endless white the blackbird watches, amused VIII. A thin horizon halves the earth one of woman, one of man both dwell under a watchful eye of the blackbird PB/JPN
