What a Valentine's Day. Kristie loved my poem. But what I didn't expect was that she would write me one! It was wonderful. At first I read it, just savoring the message. Then I re-read it admiring the form. Next she read it, emphasizing the rhythm and meter. It was beautifully written. She is definitely from the classical school of poetry while I'm from the modern, free verse form. The poem rivals the first letter she ever wrote me.
I know. I'm blessed.
I always knew she was a hell of a writer, but I now I know she's a hell of a poet too! If I can ever get a copy of an essay she wrote about her mother, I'll post it here and readers you will be in stitches. It's the best portrait I've ever read.
