  • on Jordan by George Herbert, on October 2, 2005
    This is amazing and strikes at the very heart of what occured with my husband, and strikes at the very heart why I always felt ashamed of my poetry too, and never really considered myself a poet. Even my instructors who used to teach me about 'The Psalms', and 'Job', said that those were not the expression of a real person, but was crafted together as literature with the character made up....which I suppose could be true- look at all the 'created' characters in books, and movies. So I guess I am still grappeling with the question. The stars in hollywoood aren't being 'honest', in terms of 'themselves', they have perfected the art of 'acting'. So I guess I am still feeling the debate- but this poem makes me feel like there is nothing wrong with sharing genuine feelings, and thoughts in poetry. Thanks for this- I am going to show it to my husband.

  • This is absolutely beautiful. It is like he is right there at the gravestone, greiving and wanting. I am sure in fact these were real emotions oif his, and visions, and that is what makes the poem so beautiful. I just love the way he painted the scene which gave so much meaning to his longing so we could actually see him in this state of feeling. Simply incredible!

  • on Wind And Window Flower by Robert Frost, on February 20, 2005
    This is my favorite Robert Frost poem- in fact I don't like a lot fo his, but this is as gorgeous as they come...I have it on my author page. I was hoping to see what others had to say about it, but oh well...
