This was very well written. Sometimes I hope that I could become writers that could make words dance and appear the way they do as this author did. I believe that this was saying that he needs to read poetry, like how he would be eating something he loves, and he would be devouring the poems with enjoyment and sparkles in his eyes. This was written to describe how much passion and how much the poetries meant to the writer. Imagine, a hot summer day and you are sitting on the curb infront of your house and you got this juicy slice of watermelon ready for you to devour and as you are eating it, the juice drips off the side of the mouth and you enjoy it more than ever. I believe that poets use these metaphors to paint a more vivid imagery in our mind as poems are suppose to paint a picture in our mind and metaphors like this can help us understand how much this meant for the writer. It is very hard to come up with something this great as Mark Strand is a professional writer. I hope I am able to come up with such strong and vivid language in near future.
