Because of the holiday, I’m taking a hiatus this week from Free Write Friday. Instead enjoy Ellen Bass’s “Any Common Desolation“. Poets.org’s Poem-a-Day arrives in my inbox each morning and, I’m hoping, will make a poetry connoisseur out of me yet. On weekdays they feature new and previously unpublished poems by contemporary poets. Bass’s image-rich “Any Common Desolation” is one of my favorites from the last few weeks.
