Whenever I read poetry I read it more than once. I think because of the economy of words, they are to be savored so we can discern all of what they mean to us. As a poet, we must be prepared to bare our souls at times, because anything less than honesty shortchanges what we do, and what people see, so then what would be the point? Poetry is important to me, and I think it is for many reasons, but one is that there is no tap to turn on when we want to say something. It must come unbidden, often unexpectedly. Is this confusing? I do sometimes talk to much. Thanks, Terry.
