Tulips

Poetry of the Week – 2
The Waste Land
- T.S. EliotApril is the cruellest month, breedingLilacs out of the dead land, mixingMemory and desire, stirringDull roots with spring rain.Winter kept us warm, coveringEarth in forgetful snow, feedingA little life with dried tubers.You can read the whole poem here but it will take a while and this is really the best part. Just sayin'.Posted: 2024 May 05
