  1. Love this… the way that the poem speaks for itself “this poem…” is one of my favorite ways to start a poem actually… sometimes I write it this way and than remove the part that it sprung from… but it gets your thinking around the important stuff like why? and how?..

      Thank you, Björn. I liked the lightness of the piece created by speaking about the poem while having an underlying current of something more than just a poem.
      That’s a good idea to start a poem in this same manner and then removing the front. I’ll have to give that a try sometime.

    I love it, Mandie! I read it twice and it definitely was for me. Every word just fit so well and blend right in despite the fact that ‘The corners do not tuck in’
