Writer's Almanac

It is a gorgeous spring day here today, and my daily poem from the Writer's Almanac embodied the light feeling I am experiencing this morning. Enjoy.

Count your fingers by C.D. Wright
from One Big Self: An Investigation.


Count your fingers

Count your fingers

Count your toes

Count your nose holes

Count your blessings

Count your stars (lucky or not)

Count your loose change

Count the cars at the crossing

Count the miles to the state line

Count the ticks you pulled off the dog

Count your calluses

Count your shells

Count the points on the antlers

Count the newjack's keys

Count your cards; cut them again
