Thanks for sharing your poetical insights and ramblings as well as your poetry. I am reminded of an interview with Mariane Moore (I think, a baseball fan) by Joe Garagiola (sp?) (former baseball player) on the TODAY show about 40 years ago. Joe: ...and give us an example of a beautiful word... MM: Zepher is a beautiful word. Joe: What about Garagiola? MM: That's a lovely phrase. I may have quoted this to you a few years back but I hope to share it with a few more people now on your site. By the way, do you have readership figures (and cost per thousand) for the site? This is such a nice lesson and at the same time a feel-good poem.
