Wolves on the Wing

The Al Purdy poem we studied yesterday straddles the lines between poem, prose, anecdote, and SNL sketch so brilliantly I thought I'd share it. For those wondering the actor playing the poet is Gord Downie, lead singer of The Tragically Hip.

Enjoy.

"Glory Days" by Bruce Springsteen is NOT a poem, and even if it was, you don't have the ability to deliver it anyway.

If you don't have anything to say, just announce that the game is about to begin.  If the Blackhawks facing elimination isn't reason enough for the game to be exciting, then nothing you say is going to make it so.

I just wanted to thank everyone who responded to my question regarding that Emily Dickinson poem and the use/meaning of the word "surge". While I'm not 100% convinced she's talking about boobies, I've got to admit that she could very well be referring to the feminine shape, especially if their isn't any structural term called "surge" that lace would somehow partner up with.

So, once again, thanks, and if anyone else has any alternative interpretations feel free to toss them in.
