I wouldn't put that past me. I need to actually start <I>making notes</I> of these great poets I stumble upon on Poetry Fridays. Pen-and-paper notes. A list. Mental notes aren't cuttin' it. Either way, she's amazing. <BR/><BR/>Jules, 7-ImpJules at 7-Imphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14439756778611468303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31911817.post-33576983371350284432008-01-25T13:30:00.000-05:002008-01-25T13:30:00.000-05:00Tadmack,Szymborska has written many other poems th...Tadmack,<BR/><BR/>Szymborska has written many other poems that leave<BR/>one thoughtful as this one does.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Susan,<BR/><BR/>I agree with you!

It allows me to pay closer attention to the emotions a poem evokes and therefore engages me more than if I'm preoccupied trying to decipher complicated metaphors or having to look up every other word in a dictionary. Not to say I don't enjoy poetry I have to work at a little to understand rather I am awestruck how ordinary words can profoundly move me.susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14924982664582970754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31911817.post-55813251900904647282008-01-25T13:09:00.000-05:002008-01-25T13:09:00.000-05:00This is an exquisite cry of despair: nothing has c...This is an exquisite cry of despair: <I>nothing has changed</I>.
