I know the one that turned me on to poetry -- that was "The Highwayman" by Alfred Noyes. I do have many other favorites, but I really like that e.e.cummings one you posted today.ChrisJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11550420299395301062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6923347451717626296.post-4406752243992165822010-01-16T03:20:52.360+00:002010-01-16T03:20:52.360+00:00A touching tribute to your friend.
