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.
When my life gets insane, I like to wallow in escapism.
The more stressed I get - the more I like to watch things that don't matter - like Hallmark movies, or Lifetime movies.
This last weekend I watched two Hallmark movies that were both "book" related:
Perfect on Paper
and Love by the Book
They were both exactly what I needed at the time.
Both had little life lessons buried in them, which I find reassuring. These were several things that I could tie into things going on in my life, and things that pertain to writing.
Anyway - if you need to to escape, and a little romance, check them out.
