Last night
I ran with my son and daughter
on line
in messages clothed in balloons
drifting thru clouds
stroking my family shoulder
with enduring affection.

Thilda May Swenson
Swenson is best known for her exuberant, adventurous wordplay. She’s credited with inventing the “iconography” style, in which the lines of the poem are shaped to create images relating to the poem’s content. For instance, her poem “The Lowering,” written as a memorial for Robert F. Kennedy, is in the shape of a folded flag.

Don sees Bob’s talent
with design, color, balance,
nuance, detail, truth!
These qualities don’t diminish!
