My knowledge of poetry (beyond owning a thin paperback volume of stuff by Robert Frost) pretty much fits into the uneducated caveman mode, too. :)Merujohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14123831956012950960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11125127.post-55205219075816658112009-09-02T21:41:51.289-04:002009-09-02T21:41:51.289-04:00I thought it was pretty good, actually.
