  • The story in this piece draws the reader to see an independent, adventuresome man who thought, for a while, that he could be domesticated. However, in the shadows of his mind, Jack London's call of the wild strikes him, and his need to return to his home overwhelms the desire to stay with his love. This piece is impeccably clear and well written, so much so that I, were it set to music, would sing it. There is so much you can do with a wonderful piece such as this, and so little a population to do it with because appreciation for poetry seems lacking in these days of every convenience. I often wish to be lost in a scientific phenomenon in order to visit the past and understand a simpler, more honest time, a time when the woodsmen were the choices of the male population and the most difficult to keep as illustrated by this wonderous poem.
    I wanna write like this!
    Enjoy, all!

  • This is the first piece of old poetry I have read. I had the dictionary ready to go in anticipation of numerous words I would not understand because of vocabulary more advanced than my own. However, I was pleasantly surprised with the language being within my vocabulary as well as quite eloquent. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this piece and believe I will be spending much more time reading Old Poetry in the future. There are so many ideas for original poems here, I'll have to come back, if simply for inspiration. I'm extremely thankful that I decided to see what Old Poetry was all about.
