Backward Poem by William Carlos Williams

A three-day-long rain from the east- an terminable talking, talking of no consequence- patter, patter, patter....amusing eA three-day-long rain from the east- an terminable talking, talking of no consequence- patter, patter, patter......amusing expression. Beautiful poem.

Seclusion! ! ! Heavy Rainfall. Thanks for sharing this poem with us.

History teaches us nothing, peace is elusive, Action not words good poem , that’s my take on it anyway kb

Nice poem beautifully crafted to make interesting reading. 'An interminable talking, talking, talking...it has happened before. Backward, backward, backward.'.. creates an eerie feeling while reading. Loved it.

Repeat scenes presented by nature in seasons make the people nostalgic. The sentiments wonderfully captured in the modern poem of the day.

Distance cut off. Seclusion. A few passers-by, drawn in upon themselves, hurry from one place to another.....towards, towards, too wards but modernity forces to backwards.... changing, changing, chain link but out of obsession....great poem penned

A brilliant denouncement of the repetitive nature of modern, routine existence.
