Tuesday Poem - a day late !!

Tuesday Poem this week has at its hub The Map (you give me) by Stephen Bett, selected by Orchid Tierney.
She says, 'Stephen Bett's works are characteristically sharp and superficially simple. Yet they mask a sincere emotion which, in subsequent readings, grows deeper with intensity. Brevity yields nuances, words become packed with unsaid dialogue, lines are meant to be read 'in between.'

Read the hub poem and then move to the sidebar where thirty poets post Tuesday Poems by themselves and other poets whose work they admire. It's a real atlas of poetry - so many 'maps' to pour over, from Dr Seuss to AE Housman to Mary Cresswell. Go to http://www.tuesdaypoem.blogspot.com/ and begin...
