Poem: "Young Orchard"

It has become pretty quickly apparent that, were I to limit myself to only posting book reviews, I wouldn't be able to post nearly so often as I would like. Now, I won't pretend that I will be able to keep up this rate, but I like to think I will post regularly enough to make visiting worthwhile.

So, for today, a quick read - a poem. I read this in a May 2008 New Yorker (not a typo, I'm actually a year behind) and I found it quite accessible and charming. It's also short (I'm not wild about poems that go on for pages) and well suited to spring.
