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 Iām wrong but it makes
me think youāre looking right
at me now isnāt that a lark for me
to think you look that way
upside down like a tree frog
Boss Iām not surprised at all
I wouldnāt doubt it for
a minute youāre always up
to something Iāll say one thing
youāre all right all right you are
even when youāre hanging Boss
