Ohhhh, every time I see that poem I am delighted. Everything about it is just so delightful *_*
I got back into poetry a couple of years ago and there is very little else that makes me so happy as to find another That Poem. Here is one that I am particularly fond of, that makes its way onto my profile with tremendous regularity :) The second verse in particular makes me sigh so, so very much.

Poetry can be dangerous, depth and direction unknown, full of undertow and truth, muddied by a past further up current.
But here I am wading out with cupped hands, chasing flashes of sun- light, trying to capture bubbles, look- ing for a rainbow I can write down.
