“I like waking up by the lake
frozen over, the frosty meadow
where a white horse still huffs and chafes
by the fence post and a few fog clouds
cling to the tree line of the Sugar Loaf range.’’
— From “I Like Waking Up,’’ by Ira Sadoff (born 1945), an American poet and professor of literature at Colby College, in Waterville, Maine.
