Thanks for clarifying - I, too, get seduced by beautiful words and sad ones do have a special allure that we can all relate to.

I like Plath but I think she was as mad as a hatter. It's all about the [language] as my Ditz would say.

Interesting. It is rather humbling to have someone express concern for me.<br /><br />I didn't find this poem depressive and she is not one of the neurotic poets. I like the use of language and I think there is a certain wit to this poem. That said, I do like to read some of the neurotic poets. There is a sad beauty to their words. I enjoy the language, as well as the emotion. The fact that so many of them offed themselves, either by obvious intent or by slow design, is a lousy waste of life and talent. And a result of deep problems. But the work says something.<br /><br />I wouldn't try to analyze me. Like most people I'm as deep as a well and as shallow as a puddle.<br /><br />I would never bounce you off one of my horses. : )Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13915962999372304054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3638850181807914586.post-49232817779262305102009-10-21T17:53:22.825-05:002009-10-21T17:53:22.825-05:00Thanks for telling us she did not do herself in . ...Thanks for telling us she did not do herself in . . . now tell me why you often choose this type of beautifully written, yet depressive poem? Not a criticism - I just like you a lot and being who I am get concerned . . . and I have been known to read more into what is there.
