Favorite Poem of the Quarter

My favorite poem of this quarter is "Once Upon a Time" by Jack Gilbert. This poem is about the careless and innocent nature of love. I really like the way the author describes the events that characterized his youthful love. He uses words like "incidentally" and "melody" and "baffled" which convey this youthful lust as accidental and natural. This was just an overall pleasant poem that made me smile when I read it, maybe it's because I'm a girl and lovey dovey stuff makes me say "awwww." Either way, I thought it was a great poem, kudos to you Jack Gilbert.
