From MENDING WALL

Something there is that doesn’t love a wall,

That sends the frozen-ground-swell under it,

And spills the upper boulders in the sun;

And makes gaps that even two can pass abreast.

About Marty Luster

I'm Marty Luster, a retired attorney and politician. In 2010 my wife, mother-in-law, dog and I relocated from Central NY to Gloucester. I hope my photographs and poetry(?) reflect my love for this place and her people. My picture-poem posts can be seen at http://matchedpairs.wordpress.com and selected black and white images can be found at http://slicesoflifeimages.wordpress.com

  1. My favorite poet and a great image to master the words.

    Another great shot,Marty. This is the poem I chose when asked to read at the poetry event last year at the Sawyer Free. I suppose the most famous line is “Good fences make good neighbors,” but I think the heart of the poem is:
    “Before I built a wall I’d ask to know
    What I was walling in or walling out
    And to whom I was like to give offence.”
