This week had definitely gotten off on a running start.  We have started reading poetry.  I do have some favorite poets, but some I have a hard time understanding.  I guess with poetry it can be interpreted differently according to the reader and whether it touches a response in each person.
     Reading for me is many times like a vacation.  I can be take to different worlds, times, and places all without leaving my side of the bed.  The lamplight can become a moonlit path to a beach, or the sunrise on a mountainside. 
     Poetry requires a little more concentration or deep insight to understand where the writer is trying to lead the reader.  I just have to keep in mind to take it slow and savor each line or else I might get motion sickness, and not enjoy the experience.
