this spot this hand this page

dad said it should have
a good title like
'leaves of grass'
but I can't exactly
hi-jack an already used title
pretty well known work too
WW somewhat influential poet
what about 'the bible'
see what kind of fish
that title will catch
this thinker is not a fisherman
and the sky doesn't get much
clearer than it is today
but the air is cold
the wind is shaking last night's
snow all over the page again
lucky the sun moved
into the sky above
this spot this hand this page
still working out the title
in the mind not overlooking
the backyard beauty...

How about "catch her in the rye" or "catcher's name was Ry(an)"
