Why is  it that poetry is expected to always do more than just be what it 
is?"  



Suzanne,  I wanted to say that I also enjoyed your take. I do not know  a 
long list of poets but I think its fair to say that we can be marveled  by a 
poets gift in magnifying language without a grand story to tell or a  poets gift 
for content and its measure for human good. I think the loner on the  hilltop 
might do both. ~Raven
