on A Crazed Girl by William Butler Yeats, on February 27, 2004
Although this poem has some imagery, I couldn't really get 'carried away' in it. I don't particularily like the style or the imagery that Yeats uses, although I do like the repetitive use of the word wound.
on An Anacreontick by William Oldys, on February 27, 2004
Lovely flow and rhythm to this poem. The content is also very intreguing, and it is true that Life is too short. This is a truely beautiful poem, with a wonderful message.
on Resumé by Dorothy Parker, on February 27, 2004
What a poem. If only this could be handed out to all the suicidal people or self-injurers in the world, then maybe they could see these 'tools of death' from her point of view. It's almost like she is making fun of suicide, but you can tell that isn't the case. She's just turning something very serious into something a little lighter, trying to brighter the moment as it were, and I feel that she does an amazing job.
on St Ives by Roald Dahl, on February 27, 2004
A short poem from a man who likes to ramble! I have been in love with Mr. Dahl's writing's since a youngling, and still am to this day. This poem is short, yet sweet. It's the humour and the playfullness that makes this poem a pleasure to read. And also, the topic is pretty funny!
