[stylist] How to Read a Poem

Wed Feb 22 15:34:01 UTC 2012

I meant to say I love the author Stuart Woods and have  several of his 
books in audio and print... and yes I do hold the books while I  listen.

Lynda, I  meant to mention the SMELL of the book in my  last message.. It  
doesn't matter how old the book is either.  The older the   better is how I 
think.  I love to hold and breathe it all in.  I  love  the author and I do 
have 
one of his books in both audio and  print... and yes I  do hold the book 
while I listen  sometimes.   I am working on audio  books for my last three 

books of poetry.  I had one almost done but partner  in crime  
unfortunately fell 
ill and even though he claimed he could finish  the  project I put on my 
'mother' face and said "no way" so it will  be done when it  is done.

ah, me  too! You know I go to amazon.com sometimes and  check out the new 
books  available in poetry. then, I get carried  away, and before I know 
it, 
I 
am  clicking on the ones I want. I  order them, knowing I cannot read them! 
I  
have several new ones  on the way right now. I just cannot get beyond the  
desire to hold a  book. I would say that is what I miss most of all in my  
life - that  I cannot hold a book, sit down on the couch with a nice  
comforter  around me on a cold day, and sip my coffee as I read my book.  
And,  
did I mention, the SMELL of a book?  The touch of it?  The   colors of the 
covers? The arrangement of the text inside the  book?   ahhhhh.
