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.

A vacation to do nothing but read...

My "To Read" list on goodreads is getting out of control!

I need a book-cation! :)

Appreciating things

I spend a lot of time musing about people not paying attention to things. Like the beauty of a sunrise or sunset. Or the way cool dirt feels beneath bare feet. Or the first splash of a fat raindrop on your tongue. I think a lot about the gifts we are given, and how thankful I am for them.

I wish people would spend less time watching TV, which really keeps them from seeing the beauty of not only life, but their own families.

But, alas, sweet irony - I sure spend a lot of time ignoring things, so I can read.

I love exploring the deep, rich, imaginary worlds. I love feeling other people's emotions, walking with them through their lives.

But what am I doing when I am swept away into the pages of another world? When I open a book but put aside an experience right in front of me?

I wonder what this realization means for my writing future.

Best,

Sil
