I'm at the beach this morning, so this will be quick, but I had to share this post from Regular Rumination about how to love a poem. She perfectly captured my attitude towards poetry and why the study of it when I was in school sometimes grated on my nerves. Yes, sometimes really digging into a poem, getting under its skin, unearths something new and deep to love in that poem, but sometimes I love a poem just because. Just because it's beautiful, because the words or the images come together just so. If you feel the same, read Lu's post below. She said it better than I ever could have.
Thank you for your kind words and I'm so glad you enjoyed the post.
