I love poetry and appreciate it as much as I appreciate music, but painting and visual art is something where I can recognize great beauty but don't get, don't get as much feeling from as I do from other forms of art. Its a very interesting topic and this post might make me actually dust it off and actually complete it.logtarhttp://blog.logtar.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21353439.post-13590793263363064122009-10-03T14:30:49.193-05:002009-10-03T14:30:49.193-05:00I'm not much of a poetry aficionado either but...I'm not much of a poetry aficionado either but I've carried an old copy of "Snowbound" by Whittier around with me for nearly all my adult life.
