I love this poem. Although Donald Justice can be considered a great
"hippie" poet, instead of ranting on about LSD and LBJ, this poem really
goes deep into questioning the poem itself. While reading numerous poems
and practically falling asleep during Shakespeare's sonnets (I love
Shakespeare, don't get me wrong), this poem really stood out and made me
stop what I was doing, making everything seem un-important and meaningless
compared to the message of the poem. But what do my words matter? It wasn't
addressed to me anyway.

I didnt get this at first. But after me and my friends analyzed it in
class, i kinda got it, but i still dont get the whole meaning of the poem.
i looked up nostalgia and i got it that he's trying to say that the poem
has no emotion no feeling, no nostalgia, but it does! it leaves you with
the bittersweet wanting of the meaning of the poem, and then that makes you
think it may have comfort in it too thats hidden away...

Simply beautiful!! When the heart bleeds, it addresses no one. I identify
so much with the poet's inward journey.

I like this poem a lot but i have a really hard time understanding it. Like
what does he mean when he says "you may come into it breifly" does this
poem represent life. Maybe he meant that this like your life and other
people may come into it breifly but you won't find them their because this
is your life. I don't know but its fun to think about.

I'm not a poem expert or anything and i do have trouble looking beyond
what's right in front of me, but i think the poem means that every day we
are slowly but surely, like, dying or getting closer to death or something.
even as i'm just sitting here.and the 'no stars in the dark sky' probably
mean something like in this poem or in your life, there is no light or
upside. or maybe i'm looking too far into it. At least I gave it a shot.

i think by repeating that the poem isn't for you, it draws people in
farther because they want to see what exactly isn't written to them. the
words flow so that you can't help but read it. i think it's trying to show
that a thing of beauty, like this poem, shant be ignored. but if it is, at
least it isn't adressed to you, so you can read it and it will still be
hollow for you, and without much concequence.
