Which poet gives love a grander form? Byron? Keats? Cummings? What about the everyday love. The kind of love that stumbles and doesn't flare into a phoenix like eruption? The kind of love that hesitates and takes its time? In that case, Todd Colby's got you covered. In this week's excellent poem, You'd Think the Sky Would Run Out of Water, he employs his usual blend of chaos and humour to show just how shaky love can be a times and why that's not a reason to fret too much.
