For some reason when it comes to poetry, my understanding of metaphor and imagery go straight out the window. Isn't it kind of funny how our brains work in some aspects (fiction, no problem) but not at all in others (poetry for me). You always have these unique finds, I love reading about them.Sarah @ All The Book Blog Names Are Takenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12507006809241347635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1713469465303122569.post-62427385460478660692021-11-24T08:26:30.512-08:002021-11-24T08:26:30.512-08:00you're very welcome! i haven't read a lot...you're very welcome! i haven't read a lot of his poems or books either for that matter... i just happened to have a small collection of his poems and opened it by chance a few days ago... then i got his very short story about Alice from Wonderland which i haven't gotten to yet...mudpuddlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16647084124715892324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1713469465303122569.post-63391672333283225112021-11-24T08:01:56.855-08:002021-11-24T08:01:56.855-08:00I've never read any of his poetry before, than...I've never read any of his poetry before, thank you for sharing this.Sarah @ All The Book Blog Names Are Takenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12507006809241347635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1713469465303122569.post-6806747010511674222021-11-22T16:48:31.290-08:002021-11-22T16:48:31.290-08:00he's just not very well known these days: one...he's just not very well known these days: one of those writers lost in the sargasso swamp of time... i don't read his horror stories much, they're too scary...mudpuddlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16647084124715892324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1713469465303122569.post-33781781608859852222021-11-22T13:56:02.026-08:002021-11-22T13:56:02.026-08:00I'm familiar with many of his poems, but I did...I'm familiar with many of his poems, but I didn't know he also wrote horror stories.
