Vintage verse – After Yesterday by A.R. Ammons

After Yesterday

After yesterday
afternoon’s blue
clouds and white rain
the mockingbird
in the backyard
untied the drops from
leaves and twigs
with a long singing.

by A.R. Ammons (1926–2001)

Northern Mockingbird at The Cornell Lab of Ornithology

    Such a delightful poem. Thoughtful of the editor to include the link to a mocking bird. Thank you.
