This is the poem of my life. Uber Christians like to ask “what is your life verse?” This is my life poem. I feel like this ALL the time. I‘m trying to remember a time I didn‘t feel like I was drowning, but everyone thought I was having a great time.

Chrissyreadit That‘s so descriptive emotionally. Are you introverted? Your personality in litsy makes me think of someone taking deep dives and pursuing knowledge. 4y

TheBookHippie I love this descriptively . Very accurate. 4y

CBee I can absolutely relate to this! 4y

GingerAntics @Chrissyreadit incredibly so. It‘s so much easier being in a book than going anywhere with strangers. It‘s probably become pathological at this point. 4y

This is a nice one... a little reprieve from Melville‘s meandering...wandering...never...bloody...ending... This is a nice one.

TheBookHippie I like this one! 4y

GingerAntics @TheBookHippie I had to read this one a couple of times just to get the feel of it. There is just something about it. I still can‘t quite put my finger on it, like it‘s just out it reach. 4y

TheBookHippie @GingerAntics Reminds me of self, ones spirit. 4y

Well this obviously isn‘t about the ocean. It went up her dress, past her belt, up her bodice... the sea withdrew. Riiiiight! Dr. Mike isn‘t going to like this one at all. She would be absolutely appalled that a woman, properly bred in Massachusetts (just like her), wrote this. #NotAboutTheOcean #PoemsOfTheSea #EverymansLibrary #poetry #Joetry2021 #AboutTheOcean #EmilyDickinson @CBee @Chrissyreadit @TheBookHippie

GingerAntics Just saying, Emily had needs!!! And “the ocean” fulfilled those needs!!! 🤣😂🤣 4y

This one just might be about the ocean, even though it is Whitman. It does mention sea creatures. I‘m sure @TheBookHippie and @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick can point out the sex, though.

GingerAntics Maybe it‘s not really lettuce. Maybe it‘s “lettuce.” 😂 4y

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick I think this one really is just about the ocean. 4y

TheBookHippie Ha ocean for this one awareness of other worlds not just this one 4y

CBee I must look up this hairy sea leopard 🧐 4y

GingerAntics @CBee that one is weird. What did he mean by that? 4y

CBee @GingerAntics the only animal I‘ve found thus far is a leopard seal. When you look up “hairy sea leopard,” Whitman‘s poem is in the search results ♥️ 4y

GingerAntics @CBee so he‘s just calling things like he sees them. Maybe he didn‘t know what it was called, or it didn‘t fit what he was going for. 4y

CBee @GingerAntics seems like it. I think hairy sea leopard fits better, and is more interesting anyway. 4y

GingerAntics @CBee it certainly got us thinking. 4y

OH MY GOD!!! This was, of course, on Big Bang Theory. 😂🤣😂 I wasn‘t expecting to find it in here. The verses they sing on the show aren‘t in this book, but at least I knew the tune to this one.

This really does kind of sound like the sea.
#PoemsOfTheSea #EverymansLibrary #poetry #Joetry2021 #AboutTheOcean @CBee @Chrissyreadit @TheBookHippie

TheBookHippie Sea. Yes. Ocean no 😂. It is lovely and calming. Everytime someone says ocean I crack up now like a 12 year old 😂😳🌊🤦🏽‍♀️💀 blame it on Litsy 😝 4y

GingerAntics @TheBookHippie I‘d say sorry, but I‘m glad I‘m not the only one now. 😂🤣😂 4y

I love how Lawrence has captured the connection between the ocean and humanity here.

TheBookHippie One of my favorite authors that I‘ve read everything they‘ve written 🤍 it‘s so lovely 4y

Chrissyreadit Im not sure how I feel about this one. 4y

GingerAntics @TheBookHippie really? I can see why. There is just something about this poem that I love. 4y

GingerAntics @Chrissyreadit I ended up reading parts of it a couple times to really get a feel for it. I can see where you‘re coming from. 4y

GingerAntics @TheBookHippie @CBee 😂🤣😂 4y

TheBookHippie @Chrissyreadit oh my lort SUDS 😳 4y

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick This is one of those poems my 9th grade English teacher would assign for us to analyze and I'd insist it was about sex. To be fair, I said they were all about sex just to get a rise ot of her. Eventually she picked one just for me! 🤣 4y

GingerAntics @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick 🤣😂🤣 was the one she picked just for your really about sex?! See, I knew this was about sex. See, it‘s not about the ocean at all, @TheBookHippie @CBee @Chrissyreadit I KNEW IT!!! 😂🤣😂 4y

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Flowery language & innuendo. Couldn't tell you what poem it was though! 🤣🤣🤣 Stupid failed memory. 4y

GingerAntics @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick 🤣😂🤣oh my god I love that description. 4y

CBee @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick NICE 😂😂😂 4y

TheBookHippie It‘s always about sex. Always. 4y

GingerAntics @TheBookHippie so your vote is that they are never talking about the ocean? Cummings was absolutely not talking about driving that car? 😂🤣😂 4y

TheBookHippie @GingerAntics Yes. It‘s the hippie in me and Cummings ...definitely 😂 4y
