These are both beautiful poems, and I've never heard of the first poet, though I love the second <3 Sorry for your household woes, and I can't believe you're offering to send out books for your birthday.

I love that phrases about the words of a poem, that they "linger longer" -- so fun! I will just enjoy your virtual offer of a birthday gift this time, as I am in Bahrain and wouldn't want to send that address!

I have one old poetry anthology of my mother's but that's about it. A grandfather read to me but I'm not sure where those books went and the other grandparents took me to their library when I visited in the summer. Everyone was a reader! I'm happy to send some, hopefully new poetry to those who would love a surprise!

It is amazing that your bookstore gets so many poetry books. The one I went to in the next town has few. I have collected some old ones that mean so much upon looking back. Thanks for the delightful poem from the treasured book you found. Your words are true: words in poems linger longer. I am glad that your post brightened this dark day. All of a sudden the sun shines after the rain but that is the sweet pleasure nature brings. (Your generosity in sending a book out during your birthday month is amazing.)Carol Varsalonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02589714711155938528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-13817144356190770392021-10-10T07:04:32.900-06:002021-10-10T07:04:32.900-06:00I love hearing about your own new "old" ...I love hearing about your own new "old" book, Janet, & your idea of a poetry place sounds lovely!

I think they were more for men, but do not know. I love your offer of a lovely poetry book, Linda, but knowing me, I may have them all and was just gifted a wonderful book from our beloved 97yo cousin through marriage who brought it east from California this week for me! It is the Best Loved Poems of Americans from the NY Times in 1936 or so. Doubleday Pub. https://www.nytimes.com/1936/12/06/archives/favorite-poems-of-the-american-people-best-loved-poems-of-the.html<br />The words in the Introduction are worth sharing and reading!<br />I want a Miss Franny Block (Winn Dixie by Kate DiCamillo) house full of all my poetry books with places to read aloud, write, share, recite and enjoy poems of all kinds!!! So these would flow eventually, maybe. I think we need poetry advocacy and I have to get my idea up and running. Here's to another joyful day filled with more poems, Linda.skanny17https://www.blogger.com/profile/07488350213473016250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-78320491977336069212021-10-09T11:12:31.837-06:002021-10-09T11:12:31.837-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.skanny17https://www.blogger.com/profile/07488350213473016250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-55689625029738191782021-10-09T10:24:42.017-06:002021-10-09T10:24:42.017-06:00Thanks again to all, will see something new the ne...Thanks again to all, will see something new the next time I look in a mirror.

I just cannot stand the thought of some of these gems "going to the farm." My goodness. Your "pile" of challenges sounds tough. I'm sorry you are sifting through it all.
