    @h-jones Great – that made me laugh!  I love your ideal “right good old poet”.

    @evelyn Yeah, I’ve written some hilarious love poetry when I was ten?  Eleven?  It’s not terrible, but it’s not very good. 😉 You want to read it?  It wasn’t about anyone I knew, just a story that I thought up that (I though) was sad and beautiful! 🙂 Hah.  How much worse can it get?  Come to think of it, I don’t know why I didn’t post it in the Funny Poems discussion.  Think I’ll do that!

    My ideal of the “right good old poet” is far different than Heather.  I thought immediately of old Milton, sitting in his rocking chair, thinking philosophical thoughts, creating visions of love or nature or friendship or beautiful truths in his poetry.  I love that idea and that’s what I thought of, so I can’t change it. 😉

    As soon as I find that poem, I’ll share it with you guys. 😛
