The Past Revisited

Poetry is a link to the soul. It's a creative act. Listening to a poet read her poem and talk about when she started writing poetry got me thinking that writing is about curiosity. She said her grandmother died four years before she wrote the poem. And her first poems, including this one, really had an emotional connection to her inner self. Like, Einstein said something about having childlike curiosity, this poet remembered her grandma from her childhood, then as an adult she was able to express this feeling.

  1. I agree completely with poetry being about curiosity...and childlike feelings with adult words.
