But I've double checked the poet's site and am sure that "I" is the word she had in mind. Still -- you can make a case for interpreting the poem either way -- and whichever way inspires you the most -- go for it :) <br /><br />Blog It Or Lose Ithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16386952096217793342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8512327745848627452.post-84822049350915317292015-02-20T01:24:29.518+01:002015-02-20T01:24:29.518+01:00Thanks JazzBumpa!
