... WOW. Just... wow. Thank you so much for posting this; I think this may be my new favourite poem. I love the imagery.

You used the poem!

Seriously, this has been one of my favorites for years, but the book stays on the shelf at the local library, untouched and unappreciated. And now it's finally being ready by people, by those who watch this journal.

[exceptindreams]

Yes, thank you.

[raienna]

absolutely no problem. If you ever have need of a random theme again, let me know and I'll see if I can dig something up.

Wow, dyslexic keyboard.

Wait, didn't Beauty's love break the spell so he was no longer a beast? Wasn't that the whole point of the story?

[alzzers]

yes, that confuses me about this poem too...

[tangled_kisses]

yeah. but everyone totally liked him better as beast.

[bronchitikat]

That's what I was thinking too. So why the 'no children' bit? Someone not remembering their fairy tales too well?

I wonder if the third-to-last line is a deliberate Robert Frost tribute.

I bet it is. 'Birches' is all about love and growing up and perspectives and simple things in life. I bet I bet I bet good call.

[amnotcute]

That's beautiful.
