WHAT WAS RECENTLY RELISHED

I rarely take poetry books for travel reading. I don't exactly know why, but suspect it has to do with wanting to relax (to the extent I can) while traveling. I'm not relaxed while reading poetry -- it's interesting to consider if there are poems out there which would relax Moi. I don't think I've come across any yet. If you have suggestions as regards relaxing poems, feel free to email me at GalateTen@aol.com. As I blog this, I begin to be curious about what poems relax readers, if they do...
