A bit of poetry & thought

Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words. -Robert Frost, poet (1874-1963)

I am listening to Middlemarch right now, and when I saw this poem it made me think of a part I had just finished listening to. Dorthea & Ladislaw are speaking together and poems are brought up. She does not think she would every be very good at writing them, or understanding them. Ladislaw tells her what a poem is, and says some of the same things the poem above says, he also tells Dorthea that she is a poem in herself. Hmmmmm.

Anyway....:) I think I know why I am so horrible at writing poems. I have too much trouble finding words for my thoughts. :)
