Why do I love this poem?
When I saw Deborah on Friday, she recited a poem to me. Joyce Kilmer's trees. And she asked me, Why do I love this poem? Tell me why. And I went all teacher honor and I talked about the robin's nests and the roots of the trees and the reaching up of the branches to the heaven and heavens and how poets will often use fairly simple devices that automatically connect us with nature or with other things that we love or to which we aspire

A line spoke to me particularly because it was the right day or it was just exactly what I needed to hear in the shape that I needed to hear it in. I love this. It reminds me also of there's this book by Roland Barth called or Barts, I don't know how you pronounce it, but called Camera Lucida. And he talks about photography, and he spends so much of the book talking about what makes a photograph good, what makes it compelling

And it's almost, like, delicious. It's like a cabinet filled with all your favorite color paints. You don't even need to paint. You just need to look at the colors and know that they can be so magnificent and create so much stuff out in the world. I'm just thinking about how just never ending a poem's impact can be on our life's. Life's journey. Delicious stuff. Thank you for starting my Monday morning so beautifully
