A person who publishes a book willfully appears before the populace with his pants down. If it is a good book nothing can hurt him. If it is a bad book nothing can help him. Edna St. Vincent Millay Afternoon on a Hill |
| I will be the gladdest thing Under the sun! I will touch a hundred flowers And not pick one. I will look at cliffs and clouds With quiet eyes, Watch the wind bow down the grass, And the grass rise. And when lights begin to show Up from the town, I will mark which must be mine, And then start down! Edna St. Vincent Millay |

I'm glad you started doing this. I love poetry but tend to be a glutton. This way is better. I am forced to pay proper attention to one poem at a time. :) Love this one.
I thought it a nice contradiction to my "Poetry Of Outrage"!
I meant contrast, not contradiction. That's what I get when I'm thinking about several things at once!
i like this too. i've decided to have a private blog, no big reason, but if you'd still like to follow along ocasionally, i would be glad to send an invite.

I'm sorry to hear that Christy, but I'm sure you have your reasons.
I love this too. What an appropriate counter point to your previous post : ) I had a book of her poems a long time ago and really loved them. Ganeida is right it is nice to consider just one poem instead of trying to read a book poems like a novel. Bye for now!

I enjoy it because I read a little bit of poetry each week as I decide who to use and which poem. I haven't spent much time on poetry for a long time, so it's a nice, reflective spot in my day.
