how could anyone, especially a poet, write "are cognizant of" instead of "know?"

I am cognizant of lots of things I don't know. But that's because I don't know much. And I'm no poet.

cognizant implies more and doesn't jar with me.

Sherry, how could anyone, especially a poet, write "are cognizant of" instead of "know?"

poetic unlicense?

too long an evening with his 'bottle'?

simply didn't give a fock?

misquoted?

one of the first poems I read was the Raven

I still remember how it drew me in, slowly, engulfing

received my first inkling of the power of words

and a love of poetry

still is a favorite

is there anything I quote that you do like?

Quote the Raven, "Nevermore."
