In response to Katie Chaple's Pretty Little Rooms.
This poem is a great example on why it's nice to have the back-story. When Dr. Davidson told the class about the article, on the falsehood of a dead poets skeleton, that inspired Chaple to write this interesting poem, everything then began to make sense. Hearing the history of this poem made me want to accept the challenge to find inspiration in any type of writing from articles to textbooks (textbooks might be a stretch). I'm hoping that I will be able to write something, with time of course, that's just as good.
I also wanted to comment on a part of the poem that resonated well with me. In the second line ("...as though too injured to live outside that stone room."), the word live always sticks out because it's being referred to a skull.
