Introduction to Wall paper and Ted Kooser

After reading the first line of the 'Abandoned Farmhouse' poem, I was reminded of a huge man with legs overgrowing his bed. That was an image from one of the high school poems. As I read along, I thought this is going in a Sherlock Holme fashion. When I reached the 'bedroom wall papered with lilacs', I was certain it was the same poem. That was my introduction to wall paper.
