"A crow flies by and croaks at the coffee steam."

Today we will be stepping into the 20th Century and looking at Spring Day by Amy Lowell. Lowell was key member of the group known as the Imagist Poets who tried to distance themselves from the sentimentality and dramatism of the Victorian poets by paring down their language and focusing on the thing itself.
