Another Sarah Poem by Katherine Anne Porter
Another Sarah
for Christopher Smart
When winter was half over
God sent three angels to the
apple-tree
Who said to her
"Be glad, you little rack
Of empty sticks,
Because you have been chosen.
In May you will become
A wave of living sweetness
A nation of white petals
A dynasty of apples."
Anonymous submission.
Beautiful. Simple words put together to make such a profound thought.
As a previous comment says, to no avail, this poem is by Anne Porter, not Katherine Anne Porter.
This is one of my favorite poems, but it is not by Katherine Anne Porter, the novelist. I don't think she published any poetry. It is by Anne Porter,1911-2011.
Seek out her poems, guys.. she's in her 90s now, a late starter in poetry but a living treasure of American and worldwide poetry..
why only one poem, you should write more, this was a beautiful one.
