Your Sunday Poem Lotto

Once again, It's Pick A Poem Day.  Click on the link --   http://www.loc.gov/poetry/180/080.html  --  and type in 027 in the little box.  That's  my pick for the day:  "Poetry" by Don Paterson, from "The White Lie, New and Selected Poetry, 2001," Graywolf Press, St. Paul, Minn.

But this is also your poem day, so type in another number, any number and see what comes up.  That may turn out to be your poem for the day. If not, try another.  The website was set up with the help of Billy Collins, when he was our national Poet Laureate.  It's a treasure trove. And don't forget, Billy's got a new book of poetry out:  "Aimless Love," Random House.
