Outwitted

February 27, 2010 By Chris Corrigan Being, Practice One Comment

A short poem from Edwin Markham, called “Outwitted”:

He drew a circle that shut me out –
Heretic, rebel, a thing to flout.
But Love and I had the wit to win:
We drew a circle that took him in.

Hat tip to my friend Janie Leask in Alaska, who posted this on her facebook wall.
