So, then, it is a book of poems written by others, such as the one you posted by Herman Melville? Very nice selection it is indeed. Or were you simply comparing your poem to his one line?

Btw, Marillyn...

My husband enjoys poetry more than I do, and owing to the poem you shared above, I think I might get your book for him for his birthday.

Thanks star.

Hi Marillyn. Don't hold your breath, because he's a Christmas baby. Also, we don't discuss poetry together (although we do discuss song lyrics...go figure). Anyway, my husband thinks the discussion boards I frequent are a ridiculous waste of time, so I doubt he'll say anything good just to prove his point. Men can be like that. At least mine is like that. He says the same thing about any tv show I watch regularly, whether it's news or HGTV. I'll try to not let him know how I came across it but, as you might have observed, I have a difficult time separating the important from the tedious. To me, all details comprise the truth. Besides, I crack easily under pressure and tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth. In the past I've only bought him novels or poetry books by authors he reads regularly, so he will ask why I chose this one. I'll try to limit my answer to the one poem you shared and how I liked it as the reason, which is the truth. If only I had the gift to not elaborate. My husband always tells me I give too much information. He also says I am "excruciatingly honest". Literally, I do that. I called 911 one time in my car to report another carload of persons who were throwing rocks at other cars. I told the officer, well, not big rocks, more like stones, well little stones like gravel, the small kind of gravel. As for the color of the car, it was taupe, er no more like tan, or kind of beige, or something like that metallic gold color. I kid you not.
