Sometimes I have time to browse my shelves and rediscover old favorites. Several of this blog's much-read poems have come from Scottish author Brian McCabe (Find blog search results at this link) -- and below I offer the first part of McCabe's two-part poem ("Two Quadrilaterals") entitled "The Restless Square."
Two Quadrilaterals by Brian McCabe
Part 1. The Restless Square
There was a square who yearned
to become something else.
It stretched its legs to mimic
an elegant rectangle but
lost its balance, leaned over
in a perilous parallelogram.
