Last week’s PoeMondaY poem was longer and filled with gorgeous imagery, but short poetry can be just as captivating. Today, I present one of my favorite short poems, this one by Gregory Orr. I’d love to hear your thoughts!

To Be Alive

To be alive: not just the carcass
But the spark.
That’s crudely put, but…

If we’re not supposed to dance,
Why all this music?
