The ONE poem

This is the only poem that I can relate to. Im being painfully honest. When I come across poems, and people going on about how beautiful or touching or moving it is - I always wonder what the big deal is. I have never truly understood the beauty of it.

This one is Romanian.

Tell me, if I caught you one day
and kissed the sole of your foot,
wouldn't you limp a little then,
afraid to crush my kiss?...
- NICHITA STANESCU

Starting off

Now, this is an experiment. I want to be able to write - not about silly things like my life or how my neighbours cat died...but about poems, opinions, quotes...and basically testing writing styles. You know, like someone who is on her way to being a 'literary phenomenon'.

So when you read this you will laugh, ...but tell me why. You will provide me with critical feed-back even if it means, Iv missed out a comma....or need to put in one. You will tell me why I will never be a 'literary genius'.

And I will listen. And learn.

Cheerio.
