Lucky Words

Episode 200: "How Frugal is the Chariot"


Listen Later

Just a quick one today to remind you that National Poetry Month is coming back in April, and Lucky Words will be there, too, with another season of poems in the ourdoors. 

If the weather holds (it won't), this will be a perfect year for being outdoors in the mountain west. Today it is a perfect temperature and humidity: this is what heaven feels like to me. 55 degrees and sunny with a slight breeze and some moisture on the ground. Hot dang it's a good time to be alive.

## Text of poem

"There is no Frigate like a Book" by Emily Dickinson

There is no Frigate like a Book    
To take us Lands away,    
Nor any Coursers like a Page    
Of prancing Poetry –     
This Traverse may the poorest take           
Without oppress of Toll –     
How frugal is the Chariot    
That bears a Human soul.
