THE POETIC SPIRIT

Sir,-Your readers afte grateful for much interesting matter in The New Zealand Listener. It must be a difficult task to select articles to suit all tastes, and you strive to do that, for the most part successfully, There is, however, growing dissatisfaction with the kind of "poetry" published frequently in your paper. Perhaps in this brave new uncertain world, a new uncertain poetic spirit has been born. I should be grateful if one of its votaries will show me the points of beauty and merit in the followirz, published in The Listener, December 24, under the title "Spring": Whatever the reason, buds bud; Proliferate pale green-Oh Resurrection!While the miraculous birds sing descant. Guessing the season (for whatever reason) good. "Lumme!" as a well-known radio commentator often so eloquently remarks. Lumme! Are we reduced to this?
