tonyv Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 I've only seen "palpable" used once in a poem, in Archibald MacLeish's "Ars Poetica." Interestingly he also uses "mute" (along with "palpable") in that poems first line. Perhaps the prompt that led to this poem has inspired a brand new ars poetica. 😊 Thanks for sharing this one, Judi, and for remembering the reason for the season. The title and poem are perfectly matched. Tony Quote Here is a link to an index of my works on this site: tonyv's Member Archive topic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
