(no subject)

I'm not a big poetry person. I don't really go seeking out poetry, but occasionally I stumble across a poem that sort of sticks with me. Generally it's a poem that I read and the first time I read it I just *get* it -- if I have to tear apart a poem to find its meaning I have no interest for it, and I think really good poems, for me, are ones that can have meanings that can be so buried in metaphors but the metaphors are so perfect that you know right away what they mean. This poem was in the multiple choice section of the AP English test (am I not supposed to talk about that yet? lol oops), the last piece in the section, actually, and it stuck with me enough that I could remember the title and author today.

( I brought a heart into the room, / But from the room, I carried none with me )

SO THERE'S SOME POETRY FOR THE DAY.
