Friday Poetry: Virginia Woolf

Happy Friday Everyon!

I have some fabulous book plans for the weekend so I hope you all do as well.

My chosen poem this week is by the English writer Virginia Woolf (1882-1941). Now I will be honest, I’m not over fond of Virginia Woolf as I just don’t seem to get on with her writing style but I do love this poem.

Let Us Go, Then, Exploring

Let us go, then exploring
This summer morning,
When all are adoring
The plum blossom and the bee.
And humming and hawing
Let us ask of the starling
What he may think
On the brink
Of the dustbin whence he picks
Among the sticks
Combings of scullion's hair.
What's life, we ask;
Life, Life, Life! cries the bird
As if he had heard. 

Virginia Woolf
