hah! have trouble naming the different kinds of flowers I see in others' yards oh, you bet my lack of knowledge is remarkable in what it is I don't know and although I am "in the arts" certain greats especially some of the greats confuse me I understand the names like Thoreau but some of those high-minded poets come to mind and confuse me eh . . . I do like Poe guess that says a lot about my own makeup yes . . . I have to say I lean quietly toward the mad (Poe, etc?) but sometimes I'm unable to tell them apart from the "normal" folks ©December 7, 2014 / Jerry Pat Bolton Dammit I'm Mad is Dammit I'm Mad spelled backward. |

I think that the name is not as important as the thoughts and feeling, seeing the flowers or reading the words, bring you. |

Back in the day of the "greats" illiteracy was the rule and poets were few and far between. Just because in an earlier time we were forced to read them in school doesn't mean they were the best that ever lived, they were just outstanding for their time.  |

There are such great comments here to your thought provoking poetic offering, that for once I will just say that I agree with everybody. Btw. ... I have the same problem with flowers, but I think they are not offended if I don't remember their name, but they feel how sincere my admiration is. And that works too for some "Greats" out there. Yet while even the tiniest flowers are beautiful, I couldn't say that every poet on earth causes me the emotions I expect. Got carried away ... Margherita |

Get carried away like this whenever you feel the urge, Margherita. You sure put a smile on my face, and thank you for doing that. Dammit I'm Mad is Dammit I'm Mad spelled backward. |
