Poems by Mary Oliver
Peonies
... fill your arms with the white and pink flowers, with their honeyed heaviness, their lush trembling, ...
August
... this thick paw of my life darting amongthe black bells, the leaves ...
Fall Song
... painfully chafes, for instance when autumnflares out at the last, boisterous and like us longing ...
A Visitor
... The door fell openand I knew I was saved ...
Moles
... the rains blur even this frail hint of them -- ...
Turtle
... Once, I happened to see, on a city street, in summer,a dusty, fouled turtle plodded along-- ...
Beyond the Snow Belt
... Sweep down their easy paths of pride and welcome ...
Moccasin Flowers
... I have loved more than one thing,including the mossy hooves ...
Morning Glories
... separate them out there they are in the story of his life ...
Marengo
... n is shoveled and shoveled out of the sky,and anyone who comes must travel, slowly and with thought, ...
The Family
... In our dreams we go backOr they come to visit ...
Heron Rises From The Dark, Summer Pond
... this opening up of the heavy bodyinto a new life: see how the sudden ...
Climbing The Chagrin River
... bounding down through the black flanks ...
Aunt Leaf
... burning like a medallion,this bone dream, this friend I had to have, ...
The Humpbacks
... longing to fly while the dead-weight bonestoss their dark mane and hurry ...
