Hi

Surely (and I know this will upset a few people out there) poetry is not =
just a catalogue of emotions.  A true wordsmith can write about the =
mundane and make it a joy to read by the clever use of his art.  Okay, =
so many of us will read poetry that suits our mood, just as we will =
listen the kind of music that suits our mood but I believe that there is =
more to poetry than just identifying with another's joy or despair.
