I am trying to appreciate poetry (blame it on watching “Dead Poet’s Society” and my deceased grandmother-in-law), but I’m afraid I lean more toward Dr. Seuss than Robert Frost.<\/p>\n

Here’s one I didn’t care for followed by one I do.<\/p>\n

Eating Poetry<\/b><\/div>\n
by Mark Strand<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Ink runs from the corners of my mouth.<\/div>\n
There is no happiness like mine.<\/div>\n
I have been eating poetry.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The librarian does not believe what she sees.<\/div>\n
Her eyes are sad<\/div>\n
and she walks with her hands in her dress.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The poems are gone.<\/div>\n
The light is dim.<\/div>\n
The dogs are on the basement stairs and coming up.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Their eyeballs roll,<\/div>\n
their blond legs burn like brush,<\/div>\n
The poor librarian begins to stamp her feet and weep.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
She does not understand.<\/div>\n
When I get on my knees and lick her hand,<\/div>\n
she screams.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I am a new man,<\/div>\n
I snarl and her and bark.<\/div>\n
I romp with joy in the bookish dark.<\/div>\n

Bed in Summer<\/b><\/div>\n
by Robert Louis Stevenson<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In Winter I get up at night<\/div>\n
And dress by yellow candle light.<\/div>\n
In Summer, quite the other way,<\/div>\n
I have to go to bed by day.<\/div>\n
I have to go to bed and see<\/div>\n
The birds still hopping on the tree,<\/div>\n
Or hear the grown-up people’s feet<\/div>\n
Still going past me in the street.<\/div>\n
And does it not seem hard to you,<\/div>\n
When all the sky is clear and blue,<\/div>\n
And I should like so much to play,<\/div>\n
To have to go to bed by day?<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
