I can’t say categorically that these are his best poems, as I’m a long way from an exhaustive familiarity with his work, but these three should be a fair sampling of his style. Today I want to highlight three poems by Rudyard Kipling that make me think long and hard on their subject and the way they were conceived and composed. Poetry –what I perceive as good poetry, anyway– is timeless and speaks to people on an individual level. Still, I have done my best to make this blog about things that I find interesting and that I believe will be just as relevant in a year as in the day to day. I often have difficulty in conveying why somethings stay with me and others do not. I have no formal training in the appreciation of English literature. When I began this blog I never thought poetry would play such a prominent role in the content.ĭespite my occasional dabbling, I am not a poet I feel ill-equipped to speak with authority on the merits of poets or their work.
