  • on I'm nobody! Who are you? by Emily Dickinson, on January 28, 2006
    There is no way someone could read Dickinson's poetry online and understand it... only by looking at the original manuscripts does the mystery of her poetry come forth. For exacmple, her dashes inbetween and at the end of the lines do not go just straight - they go purposefully up and down. What they mean, no one knows.
    She was an over-looked genious... and I'm not sure she would have had it any other way.

  • on Fairies by Alice Guerin Crist, on June 30, 2004
    I love fairies.... this was a wonderful write, though it seemed to have a deeper meaning. There are some people who don't bother to look to see things that ARE there... they just simply say such things aren't there, or don't exists, like those people who still don't believe that there was a Holocaust. Wonderful write. This woman was full of talent...

  • on Afterglow by Alice Guerin Crist, on June 30, 2004
    She was only eleven years old?!?! That's unbelievable! This is so insightful and full of maturity that one would never believe that this is written by one still in her youth. Excellent work. I'm glad that this was the featured poem today. I really enjoyed...

  • on Sonnet LXII: When First I Ended by Michael Drayton, on May 18, 2004
    Well, it had the original sonnet structure of 14 lines with the right rhyme scheme, but some of the rhyming was off... I suppose because it was either translated from another language, or it seems also to have been written in old English, or in English with a certain accent like the Scottish limericks. Lovely write at any rate.
