Corner View: Poem

 This first one is from Ted Kooser.

This next one is a blast from my past: Rod McKuen whose poetry I loved in my teens and twenties.

The third book is a poetry of a soldier serving in Iraq.  I ended up not putting any of it in here.

    I've never read anything by Ted Kooser. Looks like I need to make a trip to the library today!

    I haven't been reading poetry lately so thank you for sharing. I've enjoyed these two poems especially the first one.

    I love images the first one conjures... this will probably sound very stupid, but it's a very "visual" poem to me.

    "You never turn your back - not once,
    and yet one day they've grown apart
    or taller."
    So true.... one of my little babies is 6ft2 now!

    All three sound great... I love Rod McKuen ---and he is definitely a blast from the past for me.... "If you go Away" is a fav by him and also "Listen to the Warm"... Thanks for the memories, Beth.
    Hugs,
    Betsy
