I didn't discover it until a year or so ago. I didn't care for poetry growing up, much of what I read in school was abstract modernistic stuff. And I like sentences in my poetry! This is one of my favorites along with The Road Not Taken. I love this poem! I didn’t discover it until a year or so ago.
