on The Sycophantic Fox And The Gullible Raven by Guy Wetmore Carryl, on July 3, 2004This is an incredibly well worded poem. It is something to aspire to. In it the writer has a moral, a story, humour sadness, wit, intelligence and a brilliance in conveying it.

on The Other World by Harriet Beecher Stowe, on June 12, 2004This is a good example of a great piece of poetry written by someone who was a master of rythm , syllable count, form, detail, metaphor and simile. It is nice occasionally to read classics.

on Memory by William Butler Yeats, on June 8, 2004I would not have understood the references in this piece when I was younger due to the fact it is talking about loose women, as they were called in those days. He is saying that no matter how charming or beautiful they are, they still have the imprint of the man that slept with them on them. This , in the days when men still valued virginity in a mate.
