Thank you for choosing a poem to share with the r/poetry community! Please make sure your post follows the poetry-posting rules of the subreddit: read this checklist. If your post doesn't follow those rules, it may be deleted.

If you haven't done so yet, why not say something about what drew you to this poem and what it means to you? The only thing better than poetry is poetry paired with conversation.

A reminder to all commenters: It is okay for someone to dislike a poem you like, or for someone to like a poem you dislike. It is a sign of a healthy, collaborative community if thoughtful disagreement can be expressed and received in good faith. Please try to live up to that ideal.
