This week I am reciting some poetry together with a well known female poet from the area. This selection of poems will be read before the showing of the film "Paterson" in Semur en Auxois at the cinema.
One poem I particulary liked:
The exercise for this week is to read this poem paying particular attention to the punctuation.

The Fool's Song
Ì tried to put a bird in a cage.
O fool that I am!
Sing merrily, Truth: I tried to put
Truth in a cage!
And, when I had the bird in the cage,
O fool that I am!
Why, it broke my pretty cage.
Sing merrily, Truth; I tried to put
Truth in a cage!
And when the bird was flown from the cage,
O fool that I am!
Why, I had nor bird nor cage.
Sing merrily, Truth: I tried to put Truth in a cage !
Heigh-ho! Truth in a cage.
