Granset is a sum of many parts. To me some threads are like sitting with a group of friends chatting and,during the course of the conversation we move from one subject to another. But others are like going to a talk about something and, when that happens the point of the thread is to discuss the subject in hand which, in this case is poetry. I don't know much about poetry which is a shame as I've inherited a lot of poetry books from a departed friend who would have loved this thread. I can't say that I like The Coming of the Magi, and I found the end, with it's reflection on death strange because, as a non Christian I still feel that the birth of Christ is a celebration of birth and childhood and hopes and dreams. I also found the descriptions odd and found myself questioning how the author could have known what they saw on the way [ok I know it's a fictional account]. I would like to learn more about poetry though and look forward to reading more poems put forward.
