I...Thank you for the chance to enter the giveaway. I kind of have to go with a lot of others with my favorite being Poe but most poetry tends to go right over my head (I shouldn't admit that but I will. I think sometimes the really real poets are way smarter than I could every hope to be!). My favorite is "Eldorado". If it has words, I will read it, so I've read quite a bit of poetry (Langston Hughes, Walt Whitman, Rudyard Kipling, Paul Laurence Dunbar, Anne Sexton, etc,) but most of the time I don't really fully understand what the heck they are talking about! One other that I really like is Pablo Neruda.<br />I enjoyed reading the interpretation of this poem to writing. I never would have been able to see all of that! That's some talent to take all of that from what was there. I liked reading this a lot!<br /><br />Shelly H<br /><br />booski24@hotmail.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03096554417359952196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6804134394852065702.post-8721778301072578902013-02-18T22:56:43.050-08:002013-02-18T22:56:43.050-08:00First of all, that was a cool poem :) I follow the...First of all, that was a cool poem :) I follow the Flock everywhere and everyway, I even have 2 twitter accounts I follow by lol.<br />My favorite poet is Edgar Allan Poe and my favorite poem is the Raven by said poet.<br />(and Yeah, the stanzas in the poem in the post DO look like a wheel barrow!)<br />Ashley A<br />ash_app(at)hotmail(dot)comAshley Applebeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08212685577987639607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6804134394852065702.post-45832601017036287762013-02-18T22:31:20.229-08:002013-02-18T22:31:20.229-08:00Edgar Allan Poe..

The raven of course, which leaps frequently due to the prevalence of large black birds in our neighborhood... I love this post though, and I love the first book in your series. sheiladeeth at gmail dot comSheila Deethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13465615546936319164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6804134394852065702.post-23769508894592004162013-02-18T14:39:21.695-08:002013-02-18T14:39:21.695-08:00I am not a huge poetry fan, but there are those yo...I am not a huge poetry fan, but there are those you never forget and that stay with you over time i.e. The Raven, How Do I Love Thee, and one my son wrote when he was in the sixth grade that was actually published in the local paper (without our knowledge until after the fact) that had our mouths hanging open and staring at out manchild to make sure it was really him. As for a wheelbarrow, I understand your explanation of the intended symbolism, but my brain generally does not look for symbolism in the writing (I know Philistine here) and feel sometimes a chicken is just a chicken ;) Thank you so much for your generous sharing with us today. I really enjoyed the post. <br />dz59001[at]gmail[dot]comDenise Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17743337429214149474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6804134394852065702.post-66691934923608829512013-02-18T12:23:33.181-08:002013-02-18T12:23:33.181-08:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6804134394852065702.post-24543863498624918542013-02-18T11:20:34.127-08:002013-02-18T11:20:34.127-08:00What a fun guest post! :) I love that we have folk...What a fun guest post! :) I love that we have folks from different genres come over and expose their work to possibly a new audience. <br /><br />I don't know if there is a fav poem or just collective love for literature.
