The BlueIris Semi-Nightly Poetry Break, 11/22/09

[BlueIris]

"Gift"

You intend no doubt
to give me nothing,
and are not aware
the gift has already been
received.
Curse me then,
and take away
the spell.
For I am rich;
no cheap and ragged
beggar
but a queen,
to rouse the king
I need in you.

--Alice Walker

3. Because BI is a firm supporter of JK and we are all more than one dimensional.

We enjoy hearing and reading about other things other than JK sometimes.

4. ok, thanks

just curious is all :hi:

so then, what do you think of the poem?

[wisteria]

5. It was nicely written.

I will admit though, I don't understand the meaning behind this poem. Some poetry is easier to understand than others and this one has me a bit puzzled.
