(regarding an earlier private conversation with tng about poetry): Here's a poem, tng, I can get behind.
Why? There's a story.
I could tell the story in non-poetic language.
There's a message told beautifully and indirectly without being intentionally didactic.
I can read it once and get the story. I can read it again and understand it deeper.
If it leaves me longing for a back story (I'm always longing for a back story), I consider it an interesting piece. Thx
