Looking back, I see that this little sound running in my ears has helped give meaning and music and a helpful rhythm to my life, and yet, oddly, I've never once stopped to think of what it means, or why these particular words should be put together in this particular way. The fact is, we all are full of poems that have become the rhythm, the sound and the meaning of our lives. They will continue to have this meaning, if we only don't stop to try to see their meaning. Take back your right to enjoy poetry. The fact that some poetry is harder to understand than other poetry just begs the question.
Some flowers are harder to appreciate than others.
Poetry is as common as flowers, as friendship, as loss, as evil, as good. At the most crucial or difficult times in our lives, we always turn to poetry. Funerals are pure poetry. Every poem is a made object that is very inexpensive and there for the taking. Surround yourself with these made objects.
