and all the time
I am being carried on great winds across the sky.

Hello!

I’m taking on the challenge of posting one poem each day on my website . I’ll be doing one post–one poem–every day of 2009. I hope you’ll be enlightened and inspired by some – poetry is amazing, to me. These will include poems around my house and quotes from some of my favorite poets. Most will be serious, but there will be some humorous poems in there too. If you want to suggest any poems, feel free to email me or leave a comment somewhere on here.

Enjoy!

-Eli
