Tuesday Poem

Tuesday Poem this week has a poem by Dinah Hawken at the hub. Called 'A week of it', it is from her forthcoming book The leaf-ride and has been chosen by this week's editor Helen Heath.
As Helen says, 'Dinah has such a light touch yet her poems are substantial', and 'A week of it' is exactly that. It begins:

It is so.
It is something.

After reading Dinah's poem, enter the blogroll in the Tuesday Poem sidebar to find a host of poems including the rollicking 'Men Briefly Explained' by Tim Jones, and haiku by Japanese poets in tribute to the suffering on those islands, and more...
