Poetry Spam!

It's not even April (Official Poetry Spam Month), but last Thursday two separate people sent me poems that made them think of me. Which is kind of awesome.

This one was from bretagnes_rose:

'The More Loving One' by W.H. Auden )

Oh, I quite like the poem about Utopia! (I have never had any desire to read it. :P)

I've always thought the Auden poem was a great poem -- it sticks in my head, you know? -- even if I don't agree with the thought at all, really.

Auden is great with the imagery (definitely sticks in your head), although he's much more despairing than I usually am. But the imagery! It's so starry!

I'm a bit of a poetry nut. I post a poem every day of April for Poetry Month and, occasionally (like now), post mini-spams throughout the year. :D
