really nice one!

very nice poem, george. i enjoyed reading it. but tell me, what do you think about discussing poems line by line, watching every single word with a magnifying glass? i think tahat poems should be looked at as a whole, something which impresses or not.

Hello, everyone, i just joined the forum and in fact i have recently discovered Leonard Cohen(i'm quite young). i just loved his novels and the few songs i've heard so far. now i'm trying to listen and discover what i haven't heard so far.
really looking forward talking to you!
