Night at allpoetry
To be your night For the moment-
Maelstrom at allpoetry
The thunder shatters reason And consumes every sound;
"The Blackened Places" at allpoetry
You know, I've grown accustomed to / The blackened places of my mind. / (And as some lights grow brighter do / The shadows darken from the shine> / We may only be enlightened / Of doors that we choose to unlock

on A Last Confession by William Butler Yeats, on January 29, 2006
At first, I agreed with Smith: I thought Yeats was announcing some type of homosexuality inside of himself. But, the first line of the third stanza changed my mind. The word "other" seemed, to me, to insinuate that he was indeed righting from a female's perspective. I like the change of view.

on Risk by Anais Nin, on February 23, 2005
This poem is amazing! Rarely have I read something so simple yet majestic. This is a poem which could apply to any, and all I feel could find some sort of relation to it. Simply wonderous! She's turning into one of my favorites.
on A Cross-Road Epitaph by Amy Levy, on December 20, 2004
What a sorrowful piece! She captured very well the sense of lonliness (or is it loneliness? I can never remember!). In times of sadness, we tend to try and be comforted by other things, but for some people (or at some times) it seems those things have deserted us. Death seems to be the only consolation. I think it is wonderfully written.
on Sigh No More by William Shakespeare, on December 19, 2004
I believe Shakespeare always had somewhat of a feminine side. It seems to show in many of his works, but none as strongly as this one. I do enjoy the tone the most. It does have a touch of sadness, but only a slight touch. I did enjoy this one.
