I really like his paragraph at the end, talking about it, too!

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 love the line, "where his growth scared him."

I'm also glad to be introduced to more female poets. I feel like I'm not familiar with enough of them.

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, gorgeous! Thank you for introducing me to this poem! I'm marking it to read again and again later.

I love where the first line breaks off, as well as, "playing music with words." I bet she was an inspiring teacher.

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.

Tell the wolves I'm home

I've been listening to a book on audio, "Tell the Wolves I'm Home" by Carol Rifka Brunt. My Scribd subscription has excellent access to audio books, and it's a great way to pass the time when you spend hours in the car.

I struggle with audio books most of the time, I want to eat the words with my eyes. Eating the words with my ears is not as...satisfying. It has to be a pretty good book to hold my attention on audio.

There are many interesting ideas in this book, and many wonderful sentences.

One of my favorite: "The portrait that held all the words we could no longer say to each other."

This made me think about poetry, and how poems, like paintings, are ways of doing the same.

One of the interesting ideas in the book is the often mistaken feelings young people have that they confuse with romantic love, and how many different types of love there are, and how as we grow older, we hopefully recognize that there is room for many kinds of love in life.

I wish I had read it instead of listened. But a book worth giving a look.

(Young Adult).
