    I love balloons . I fill them up and let them go.
    I saw The Red Balloon in grade school. Wonderful metaphor on life and friendship and death.

    I have the book on The Red Balloon and also Red Shoes. Also have Sappho - Wikipedia book of poems. Found that one in a used book store in Nashville.

    I can't get into poetry. I love music and music with lyrics.
    Maybe poetry is too subtle for me. But music rock and roll is a large part of my life. Books as well. I am always reading.

    I'm not into poetry either, except for Sappho. Her history is the attraction for me.
