    I hope this is not an exemplar of her poetry… I don’t find it to be very good in really any of the ways that poetry CAN be good in my experience.

    Unless the only category is “famous” in which case she is definitely winning.

        But why though? The meter isn’t great and neither are the rhymes. Hope does not liyerally have feathers and there is no deeper allegory. Also there is nothing about crumbs or idioms related to crumbs that give good closure. Not to mention that all the weather references are vapid and empty

        She is famous, and yet this poem is a trash pile. Can I do better? You know what probably yes.
