…I accidentally stumble over something I would love to teach. I could do so much with Susan Stewart’s poem “Wings” and the concept of metaphor.

Who goes there? Please leave comments so (An Aries Knows)!
Very nice poem.
(And for some reason, this.)
Thanks–it’s always nice to find a new (to me) poet whose work I enjoy.
One of the saddest scenes I ever saw happened in, of all things, one of the X-Men movies, when a boy’s father rushed into the bathroom to find his son had mutilated himself by cutting off his wings.
More metaphor. Very sad.
I like this. Much food for thought.
Thanks. It certainly made me think.
Wonderful.
In the literal sense: these are the issues that angels deal with every day!
In a metaphorical sense: I love my wings and wouldn’t be without them for the world.
Because of the flying. =)
I would sign up for a class with you in a heartbeat. Will there be snacks?
Well, we know one of your potential classmates would bring the fondue.
Thanks!
