I Will Keep Broken Things Comments

I will Keep Broken Things. Their beauty Is They Need Not Ever Be 'fixed.' I will keep Your Wild Free Laughter Though It is now Missing Its Reassuring And Graceful Hinge.----A great poem! Even in their broken state, some broken things may give solace and strength.

Love this one, very moving. The broken thing, the broken love, the broken poet... there's no need to fix it. Acceptance and treasuring of what is, is what it's about..
