“The mower stalled, twice; kneeling, I found
A hedgehog jammed up against the blades,
Killed. It had been in the long grass.”
No idea how to post poetry in HN. Rest of the Larkin poem here: https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/48423/the-mower-56d229a740294 https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/48423/the-mower-56d22...

- volemo 3y agoHow do you define a poem? For me a poem is a short textual art form that captures an author’s feeling or induced one in me. I know it’s not perfect: it doesn’t include novels in verse and has no mention of a particular poetic register, that I cannot define but I know it when I see it.
