A Young Woman Composes A Rhymed Poem After Reading Edna St. Vincent Millay's ' Renascence'



August 26,2003

'And reaching up my hand to try,
I screamed, to feel it touch the sky.'
- Edna Millay, 'Renascence'

I am me, and I am not me,
and I thrive on this basic antinomy;
and because I am someone else too,
perhaps that someone is a part of you;
I really care for this new me,
formed from the chrysalis of your poetry.
