A Brief Look at Mystery in Poetry
When I watch my favorite British Mystery or follow an American court trial, I suddenly discover suddenly the kick I'm getting from the show.
There is great enjoyment in following obscurity with the hope of bringing the questions into view. Mata Hari was thoroughly discussed on NPR yesterday. The name alone was enough to lead me down the daisy path. I soon learned the woman had borrowed the name of a Freemason's Lodge. Such satisfaction!
Once in a great while, after I've adventured Google and Look It Up on Word 2003, I ask the author for clarity but often I lose the enjoyment of a private discovery.
Right now there is a minuscule argument among a small group of critics regarding one of my poems.
I'm the cheerleader for the lovers of mystery; may they ever be blessed.
