No reading notes today, as I am still working on Emma and am in the middle of a few other books (but not far enough along to form opinions).
However, I would like to note that I have not done very well with my project to read more poetry this year. This is not your fault--everybody made great suggestions last time I brought it up, but I have been too lazy to track them down. I will browse the poetry section of my library next time I go in, I promise.
But, on that topic, last night it felt so good to go to bed (traditionally my favorite part of the day anyway, after morning coffee) that I actually composed a little haiku to my bed on the spot. It's lame, but it'll have to count for my poetry this week.
My bed, soft and cool
When I get in. Soon enough
warm and toasty bliss.
Have a good Wednesday, everyone.
I love bedtime too - totally the best part of everyday!
As for poetry, you could go to Poetry Daily (http://poems.com/) and just read a poem every day that way. Also, takes way less time than picking a book and reading the whole thing. You can read many different poets and maybe find someone you like that way and then track down more of their stuff. Anyway, just a suggestion!

It's Art to me - I know it when I see it. Can I crawl in mine now?

Impressive!

Laura,
Thanks, as always, for the reading help! I do like the idea of a poem every day.
Sarah,
Ah, the know it when you see it rule. I join you in the wish to crawl to bed right now...soon, soon... :)
Rachael,
Well, not really. But I always did like haiku because it offered a form I understood. 5,7,5. Even I can remember that.

Bookie,
Ha! PERFECT.
I hope that hour goes quickly, although I know from experience how seldom they do...

I love bed. I love hakui. Perfect. I have a poetry book checked out - Where Prairie Flowers Bloom by Yvonne Hollenbeck. I'm not a huge reader of poetry, so I'll see how this goes.
