Enough

[Bruce V]

This is a poem that I'd come across in a book of Robert Penn Warren, and it would be enough, surrounded by his "bigger" poems.

It would be a counter-affect, kind of, in a Leopardi book.

It stands on its own and is enough in a world of poems. Either enough for somebody, or more to say, or read. This poem can be both. A freer verse Thomas Hardy.

All the particulars of poems and things: This poem relaxes in the general. Whether people think in poets or take a poem alone. 

It succeeds.

Quite an erudite response.  I thank you.  I wrote this a few years back.  Only started reading Penn Warren a couple days ago and didn't know he was also from Kentucky.  
I may have to take a look at Leopardi;  he's new to me.  My first post here.
