Some poetry I‘ve read for #poetrymonth that is tortured because it didn‘t get to be Bejeweled when Goodreads did away with the 2023 Goodreads Choice poetry category.

pickThis has been sitting on my shelves unread for a decade or 2. I picked up a copy back when I was a poetry student cause Pinsky was someone I thought I ought to read & then proceeded to ignore cause I also thought I wouldn‘t like it🤣 He‘s not exactly my new favorite poet but he‘s also not what I expected, proving 25 yr old me wasn‘t as smart as she thought she was. This was smart & oddly sweet. It rang with privilege, but also insight & sincerity.
pickI liked this one. It‘s been really slow at work today, so I was able to finish it while here. Normally that‘s not an option, but it was a pretty cool perk today. I wish I‘d brought two books with me, because I‘ve still got hours to go! #poetry
pickI liked this, but it was a soft pick for me, and I don‘t think I will ever seek it out to reread it. If I‘d read this one of her books first, I wouldn‘t have been so quick to purchase five others. Ultimately, I don‘t think it was memorable. It‘s not a bad book of poems. It‘s not that. It‘s just that her other books were stronger. #poetry

I've now learned after reading this poem that you can write an ode to anything. 😃
