So many Summers - Norman MacCaig
Apr. 6th, 2010 10:11 pmIt's apparently poetry month.
I get bored with poetry. I suspect this is because I am a skim reader so shorter works just make me want to skip to the end.
However, I love this poem. Not enough to remember it verbatim though.
( bits I had wrong in my head in italics )
The version under the cut is the correct one.
