Ronsboy67As part of my <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Poetry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Poetry</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Reading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Reading</a> goal I've just started "Remember Me: Poems To Learn By Heart From <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Aotearoa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Aotearoa</a> New Zealand", an anthology compiled by Anne Kennedy. Her intro talks about why & how to memorise poems, and it was going well until she mentioned that one of the "remember me" poems is Dennis Glover's "The Magpies"". I hate the birds and the poem. Just seeing the name brings back bad memories of being forced to learn & recite it at school.

Ronsboy67In his intro to "The Best of Best New Zealand Poems", one of the editors said the highlighted words. I am more than 1/3 through <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Reading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Reading</a> it and the theme that has been featured most often so far is mortality, aging and death. He and I obviously have rather different personal definitions of "fun" and "lightness" 🤔 <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Poetry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Poetry</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Aotearoa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Aotearoa</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bookstodon</a> <a href="https://fedigroups.social/@bookstodon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@bookstodon</a>
