Poem for January 2012: Dawn Revisited

Here it is: http://writersalmanac.publicradio.org/index.php?date=2003/08/28

I chose this poem because in some ways it is a sufficient "new year, new start" sort of poem. However, though the light is returning, we are still in the dark of winter. "How good to RISE IN SUNLIGHT!" I would project forcefully at the dark, rainy sky as I walked to the train in the morning. Aside from using this poem to chastise the earth for something that is perfectly natural, I also greatly enjoyed the phrase "prodigal smell of biscuits."
