Poetry

These are a few of the Literature books my granddaughter brought along with her school books in February when she visited. She likes poetry. Never was my favorite style to read, but I find comfort in the thought of poetry. Does that make any sense? I do admire those who can actually read the poems with ease and understanding. It must be the more 'creative' minds that can immerse themselves in such literature. I like my words straight up and clear, thank you.....

Poetry is just the evidence of life. If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash.
~Leonard Cohen
