This was the Fortnightly Poetry project for October 12, 2025.
------
This Fortnightly Poem is from the collection, Leaves of Grass. The book represents a celebration of Whitman's philosophy of life and humanity in which he praises nature and the individual's role in it. He catalogues the expansiveness of American democracy. Rather than dwell on religious or spiritual themes, he focuses primarily on the body and the material world. With very few exceptions, Whitman's poems do not rhyme or follow conventional rules for meter and line length. - Summary by Wikipedia
