    Its good to read a poem like this Glad I read it, needed a little somethin' today. I think what many of you have said is undenyable - this poem just makes you feel better about yourself. I like how its not just about being happy with yourself, its about being attractive without being perfect. I think its insentive to have confidence. Amazing piece...I think I have a new favorite.

    Wow, this is different than anything I've ever read. I've never read E.E. Cummings - well, now I have. I love his use of parentheses...I have a thing for parentheses that was magnified after I read Carrie by Stephan King. This is definitely an abstract sort of piece, but interesting none-the-less. I'm intrigued by the flow and subtle rhyming. I love the first stanza:

    (will you teach a
    wretch to live
    straighter than a needle)

    This is a thought provoking piece, content- and format-wise.

  • on The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost, on March 25, 2004

    I remember when I was really little, my grandmother gave me a book of Robert Frost poetry. At the time, I didn't understand metaphors - I took everything in the book quite literally. Even then, I loved this poem, it meant something to me. And thats saying something, because I didn't appreciate most of that book much until later on. I now think Robert Frost is amazing because of his nature metaphors. This piece, when first read, can seem almost cheerful...but after you think about it, and understand this its actually quite haunting. I often wonder, before and after making decisions (or choosing paths), how will this affect me down the road? And will I ever be able to undo what I've done? The sad thing about this poem is that it states, and quite truthfully, "way leads on to way" and you can almost never go back. A personal favorite...but its a lot of people's favorite, isn't it? Rightfully so.

    Thats pretty amazing, AndrewHide! This is a beautiful piece...I love the last stanza. Its amazingly well written...I've honestly never read Wordsworth before, but I will definitely be back. I'm at a loss for words.
