I do not know which to prefer,
The beauty of inflections
Or the beauty of innuendos,
The blackbird whistling
or just after.
~Wallace Stevens
Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird
This blackbird landed upon a branch
while walking with my daughter yesterday.
She sent my attention to it, suggesting that it would make a lovely image
what with the lighting and the bare branches and its clear outline
set apart from the limb.
I happened to agree with her.
