I didn't know this poem, and love it. I so badly want to live in the Republic of Poetry. Until any single country or this sorrowful beautiful world makes it happen, I create a Republic of Poetry in my home and in my heart and spirit, every day.

Now THAT is a noble enterprise, Amy! I'm so glad you liked it. I'm enjoying my little weekly game of metaphor association!

Feel better soon!
