Ananias

Marie Fox writes:

Ananias, the delightful poem by Rushworth Kidder in our anthology, is my poem for today. It's on page 78.

My favourite example of tight, lyrical poetic artistry:
Freeing the verse of your heart
with the rhythm of intuition.

But I also like the humorous tone, achieved by the recognition of our human weaknesses:
"But ....may I say a word?" and by the tone of inclusiveness: it's about us, we, as much as you, dear Ananias.

There are some great phrases: "uncritical innocence", "you shattered such logic", "out of that blaze you came, wide-eyed and child-like".

Thanks Rush. A gem.
