Rarities

Anyone who blogs around much (yes, that's a verbal phrase) ends up running into a lot of so-called poetry. Most of it is awful. Much of it, in fact, for reasons too numerous to be named here, makes you feel slightly queasy...or evokes a vague sense of pity.

That's why a blogger who can make a legitimate claim to the title of "poet" deserves recognition.

Check out these pieces from Anonymouse. I think of this collection as "Cathedral poems," an idea I took mostly from "Shhh...." and "Our Lady of Perpetual Springtime."

Do yourself a favor and read them slowly.
