Dale, I am of two minds about this: I don't think poetry is for everyone, but I do think that there is a small minority of very literate people who are missing out on something that they could really get into. Why, I don't know, though the usual explanation is to say that poetry was taught poorly in school. But how much truth is there in that these days?Andrew Shieldshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02804655739574694901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20782819.post-19811164991066221032009-03-11T21:57:00.000+01:002009-03-11T21:57:00.000+01:00I loved this post.I loved this post.Jamey Hechthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00739823758056342447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20782819.post-27262266903636796392009-03-11T02:06:00.000+01:002009-03-11T02:06:00.000+01:00Dark alley, indeed.
