poetry

Well, it looks like the rain decided to stay.
So i took advantage of the opportunity to get cozy with a book of poetry and a hot drink. I am realizing now that I am out of school that I actually like poetry and can appreciate it.  There's something about school that takes the joy out of everything.  I remember picking apart poems and short stories in lit classes and wondering why on earth I had to know this.  Why does it matter what the poet was thinking or trying to get at?
Yet somehow, amazingly I sit here today looking at these works and actually enjoying them.  I enjoy the symbolism, the use of language to describe something so simple in a way that makes you see it in a different light and takes your breath away.
