Product Overview
Untitled and unpunctuated, the seventy poems in this acclaimed collection seem to cascade from one page to another. Maurice Manning extolls the virtues of nature and its many gifts, and finds deep gratitude for the mysterious hand that created it all.
that bare branch that branch made black
by the rain the silver raindrop
hanging from the black branch
Boss I like that black branch
I like that shiny raindrop Boss
tell me if Im wrong but it makes
me think youre looking right
at me now isnt that a lark for me
to think you look that way
upside down like a tree frog
Boss Im not surprised at all
I wouldnt doubt it for
a minute youre always up
to something Ill say one thing
youre all right all right you are
even when youre hanging Boss
