July 23, 2009; 221 Middlesex Road; Upon Reading Poetry During a Gentle Rainstorm

With Mr. Williams' Mentor to
    one ninety-four and
  the window cracked to
      wet leaves, drippy gutters, and
  rustlings in the nest across
      the driveway, I try to
    read interestedly, but
        find that Mr. Keats stumbles when
    the rain hits the portico or
        the moist summer wafts in.

          My book discarded, I move to
              the window and
            watch the ablution.

    Oh! What a lovely write! I was scrolling through the contest and realized I forgot to comment on this! Hmmm how did I miss it? Anyways what a clever piece! I like the perspective you placed into this and it is a very thoughtful write that speaks much of contemporary writers.. Well written!
