@handmade_ghost@sunny.garden I like it. I am starting to realize that I never had a good memory, and it is not something fixable. Also, my craving for stories (mine, real ones, fiction) makes so much sense lately...Unrelated: I saw part of a John Donne poem the other day in a novel and dang, I mean wow! We were required to read so many pointless things in school ....but that would have made an impression....

@mtechman@mastodon.ie My memory is not at all what it once was. I've learned to (at least try to) hold things lightly anymore. I wish so many things about school and poetry!! So many poems in the world that all strike different notes at different times for different people, but it seems in school in the US there are only maybe five poems that mean only one thing all the time for everyone. Sigh. Re Donne: I have had a similar experience!!
