A response to One Art

[kellyrfineman]

Elizabeth Bishop's "One Art" is among the best of villanelles. "The art of losing isn't hard to master," it begins. Tricia Stohr-Hunt selected the poem as our jumping-off space this month, and, though I got to it late, I am here, with my poem that uses a single line-- the second line--of the poem inside it

So much the same, lined up for attention, but you, the poet, highlight what's unusual...the dress that is a cage. I had no idea where you were going with this poem (I guess that's the way of visions!) but that just made it more fun to dream along with you. (Also, I find the emptiness of those "high-end" shops creepy.)

That's one creepy dream, but also what it has to say about consumerism and marketing...

so much

The details of this dream/poem, Kelly. Wow.
I almost forgot our "assignment," so wrapped up was I in your own poem.
Thank you for this!
