I usually get my poetry second-hand from them when they read aloud a favorite poem at the dinner table.Rae Ann Parkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10844280766504375384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27104799.post-22668544922707257712008-03-22T16:22:00.000-05:002008-03-22T16:22:00.000-05:00I like poetry, in small and measured doses.

Not only do I stop getting the good from what I read, I lose that initial frisson I got with the first ones...Steve Malleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17561234111786788616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27104799.post-66833469470743430202008-03-21T10:57:00.000-05:002008-03-21T10:57:00.000-05:00I looked this up after you mentioned it, because I...I looked this up after you mentioned it, because I wasn't familiar with it. I'm not sure if I have a favorite poem. I do really like the John Donne poem I used in Mermaids, although some might not appreciate the use I made of it!cs harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13708705800818667923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27104799.post-52923435597310879352008-03-20T14:27:00.000-05:002008-03-20T14:27:00.000-05:00What a wonderful piece.

I think I'm just intimidated by it. A lot of it, I don't understand, but a lot of it I do. I'm hoping that if I start to read it, that I'll feel more comfortable with it and surely, the imagery and the rhythms might have an accidental influence on my prose (I hope!).
