This is a small poetry club that started as a poetry email exchange between two friends. Our goal is to read a poem everyday, and this blog is one way to help keep us accountable. There is only one valid rule in poetry club: there are no rules in poetry club. Read any poem, in any order, with any or no interactions. You decide. We only suggest you read poetry!
24 Jul: "In Some Other Life" by David Jones
In some other life We are standing Side by side and Laughing that, in Some other life We are apart.
So what are they doing in their life? It is interesting how the narrator uses we. As if they are not together in this life, but in some other life laughing about their current situation. That seems like a healthy response to the end of a relationship.
Multiverse!
