I tinkered with this poem for years. Thin Places Journal just published "St. Francis Gives a Sermon to the Birds" and it turns out today is his feast day, and the 800th anniversary of his death. thin-places.org/2026/09/29/i... #StFrancis #SaintFrancis #birds #poetry

Hi, I’m Melanie. I’m a librarian and poet living in the eastern United States. I love the end of the “Lua” duet by Conor Oberst and Gillian Welch when they repeat “so simple in the moonlight, so simple in the moo-oon-light” Would you like to introduce yourself with a small song moment you like?
