Video poetry

I like Billy Collins. He’s certainly not one of our most profound poets. There’s something about his work that often reminds me of a New Yorker cartoon. But he’s wonderfully accessible, and he’s no mere Ogden Nash. This is an interesting project.

I thoroughly enjoyed that.
Thank you.
Especially the last poem. Seventeen year old girls *do* eventually blossom. It just takes about another thirteen years.

De nada, Alan.

I vaguely recall being at an age when I thought seventeen year old girls *had* blossomed.
