RE: Mizu No Oto - Every Image Has Its Haiku - Edition #57 [English - Español]

LOL - someone else did use moist (moistness) - so, despite your best efforts, I was not spared. :)
I was an English major many years ago. Hence, the poems. And I pretty much flunked the GRE (Graduate Record Exam) in English. I scored barely above 70% because I had read so little English lit and poetry! American lit was my favorite, and I avoided Shakespeare like the bubonic plague. (Call me an idiot. I know. I know.)

Sort:  

Shakespeare is an acquired taste, but once you acquire it, watch out!
I tutored for the GRE. I had to take it in order to qualify as a tutor (in the office, not for real) and I scored 800 on the math! lol. My heyday...

You scored 800 out of 800? Congratulations!
I barely passed in my own major.
At age 16 I read Shakespeare comedies one summer, for lack of anything better in the house, and I did like Midsummer Night's Dream: "Men have died, and worms have eaten them, but not for love!"
Now I have to wonder how Shakespeare ended up at our house. Must have been a library book. All we had was the Bible, Volume A of the encyclopedia, a Red Cross First Aid manual, and some random Little Golden books.
