Brady Writes

I've been doing this, or procrastinating doing this for 120 days now? that seems pretty significant. It's about 1/3 of a year, if I'm doing my math is right. Wow. Tonight I posted a National Poetry Month recap over at my other blog. It's got lots of linky links to click on to read poetry from people whose poetry I read this month. Oohh fancy. Enjoy! Update- So my blog won't publish right now, so clicking that linky link there won't get you anywhere. Sorry. I'm hoping it is fixed later today. Update #2- It seems to be fixed.

I'm not sure if this is one poem or two. I'm still thinking about it, and the second stanza is kind of unfinished. But I like them.

I think I scored these contributions to National Poetry Month at Brian Presents earlier this month. The first is from Adam of Fridge For Thought fame. The second is from Evelyn . Apparently, it is from a famous German poem. But I don't know which one, so if you can read it, let me know which one it is.

I wanted to revisit the line I had used in March. The line "The wind blew in Detroit today" calls to me as good. I still haven't hit the nail right on the head, though.

I dance slowly down the road One foot, and another, and a third the cadence of my footfalls a tiny earthquake Today I dance alone although here and there I see others dancing to their own symphony ignored by the crowd who stand silent and still As I dance slowly and alone I see a silver glint and as I dance the dance becomes me and I become the dance and the road and the earthquake When I stop the dance it hurts sharp pains as if the dance is ripped from my bones or am I ripped from the bones of the dance
