Poems and all
writing are hiding in the most ordinary and familiar places – if we can only
change our way of looking at them.

10
Places to Find a Poem
Good
morning greeting
A
jumbled junk drawer
Chirping
chickadees perched in the pines
Words
from wise wee ones
Playfulness
on the playground
Tick
tock in the quiet of night
Stitched
in a quilt
Jingles
of a beloved charm bracelet
Voices
chanting in unison
Tucked
in with a teddy bear
I am perched on the couch watching a Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band concert, pondering my list places where poems might be hiding. This
particular show was performed at Madison Square Garden when Clarence was still
alive. It’s three and a half hours of music madness. Bruce leaping on the piano
for the start of Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out!
I have started to build a collection of concerts
recorded from the Palladia channel. This is one I will never get sick of
watching. I have had the opportunity twice to see live Springsteen concerts and
hope there are more in my future. Nothing really compares to the energy and
passion that Bruce and the band pour into their performances. The crowd is an
eclectic mix of equally energetic and passionate swaying-singing-along fans of
all ages. "Whoa, whoa, whoa..." Pure poetry!
