I tried using the new Gutenberg editor. Like the old editor, it does not allow me to copy from my inventory of formatted poems, so I must retype them one line at a time. Also, the new editor ignores SHIFT-ENTER and inserts blank lines where they do not belong. As a result, I am back to the Classic editor. Only very short poems will appear here, and not as frequently as I had planned.
January Thaw
Sun on snow strikes opal sparks
from rabbit tracks dimpling surface crust.
A glaze of ice dissolves and drizzles
crystal water traffic down double-rutted roads.
Shadow shapes imply a row of houses
in a world reduced to black and white.
Warm-blooded neighbors greet each other
with shovel uplifted in the clear-eyed air.
