Poetry: Untitled by Lorine Niedecker

Untitled
by Lorine Niedecker 

In moonlight lies
the river passing—
it’s not quiet
and it’s not laughing.

I’m not young
and I’m not free
but I’ve a house of my own
by a willow tree.

To say so much in so few words is one of my favorite things about poetry.
Have a beautiful Wednesday.
Jane
