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!
It is kind of brilliant how the author makes her ideas yours! She writes, "And you have smiled" and "You have seen it." The main character fails, and then we read the interpretation why.This pretty much makes us think about it the way she wants us to. As if the reader might not pick up that waves are wavy? Or that wavy isn't level. (In her defense, people are pretty stupid)
This poem has a ton going on from the fable about spinning gold to Ireland to whales. All contributing to the hopelessness describe in the first stanza.
5/5- A thinking woman's poem!
