Recently we celebrated National Poetry Day in the UK. The theme was ‘wonder’.

‘A Warning To My Readers’
by Wendell Berry

Do not think me gentle
because I speak in praise
of gentleness, or elegant
because I honour the grace
that keeps this world. I am
a man crude as any,
gross of speech, intolerant,
stubborn, angry, full
of fits and furies. That I
may have spoken well
at times, is not natural.
A wonder is what it is.
