Maybe she’s had a bad day at work or an argument with a friend—the reason doesn’t matter. She’s rain-soaked and needs something new. So she meanders to the poetry section and finds the spine of my book standing out from all the others. She notices the title and is intrigued. That’s when the fun begins.<BR/><BR/>She slides the book out from the others with her damp fingers, taking a long look at the title—like nothing she’s ever heard of before. Then she considers the cover, thinks of its creation and how it might play into the book’s theme. At that point, she can’t help but thumb through its pages, and happens to select the poem that makes her feel as if someone understands.Anandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12856480920859265203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14397387.post-11320117961153208442008-03-20T04:52:00.000-04:002008-03-20T04:52:00.000-04:00Nice post!
