Earlier, a couple of comments that were posted due to my fa-cheybook status got me thinking of poetry.
I can't write poetry but I love it. I love to read it, love to hear it... love what it does to words with its rhythm.
I have a poem that keeps going 'round my head ever since I opened up my Emily Dickinson book a month or so ago. I place it here now.
This is my letter to the World,
That never wrote to me,--
The simple news that Nature told,
With tender majesty.
Her message is committed
To hands I cannot see.
For love of her, sweet countrymen,
Judge Tenderly of me!
