If "I love you" doesn't capture an emotion....!!

Interesting what you say about interpretation because I can't say that what speaks to my heart from one poem is what the poet had intended to communicate - even if they were writing from their heart (if that makes sense).
What I'm trying to say is that what appeals to me in a poem may not be what the poet was getting at. I could get something from poems not written from the heart, I could get something from a heartfelt poem that wasn't what was originally felt or the poet and I could be on the same wavelength and it could be more direct. |
