Just lovely! Kinda sideways, but it reminded me of my old Buick that I inherited when my grandfather passed away. No gloves, but little remnants of his pipe tobacco everywhere. Completely different sentiment, I know, but the poem still too me there while it was also bringing me along with the poet. I love it when reading poetry is like that!
I stumbled on the same line. For me, it's because it wasn't the same voice as what I'd perceived up to that point.
Gorgeous poem, though.
I am loving this activity for getting me to articulate why the poems that stick with me do stick with me, but I'm not experiencing any surprises in my personal preferences...yet.
Oh, I love this poem. Thank you for introducing me to it, and for your personal perspective. I relate to your under- or over-reacting. And to the poet's depiction of the latter.
It's snowing again - and I am off work and youngest is out of school because of the weather.
And our family has been fighting illness since Feb. 11th. Youngest - sick the entire time. I had a bout myself, but I'm better. Hopefully this snow day will help us get rested and back on our feet!
The good news is that I have a day to catch up on homework, I have a fire, plenty of food and water, and two very spoiled puppies!
