I understand what you are saying - each person experiences in their own way. What I was saying is that your interpretation is not necessarily what was meant by the person writing the poem and to play with the wording is an attempt to alter what was meant in the first place.

I'm not sure how valid an interpretation is when the writer obviously knows what she (or he) meant in writing the poem. If the reader's interpretation differs it's like saying "that's not what you really meant to say". How do you debate what is in someone else's mind?

Will have to phone my friend in Renfrew, every time I speak to her she is really down about the amount of rain they are getting. Maybe it's been sunny there for a week or two. Here is it rainy and cool, about 58F, 14 C - won't have to be watering for a day or two and the flowers will be happy.

Do you have any published books Meadow? It would be interesting to read, and if so, what genre. You seem to be knowledgeable about many things. Seems like a few of the posters are actually writers as well. :)
