  • on The Scarlet Woman by Fenton Johnson, on April 1, 2005
    This a sad tale, but a little moralistic and maybe a little too predictable as well. I think I saw this coming when I read the poem. Thomas Hardy addresses this theme in some of his poems as well.

  • on Marigolds by Robert Graves, on April 1, 2005
    I have nothing intelligent to contribute, but I just want to say I liked the poem.

  • on Falling Snow by Amy Lowell, on January 30, 2005
    This one doesn't do much for me. It's a poem that requires a lot of thought, but the esthetic appeal is lacking. I like a bit of music in my poems. Or at least something striking.

  • on Ode to Duty by William Wordsworth, on September 30, 2004
    I'm not sure we can pinpoint what constitutes Duty for Wordsworth, and I think this is the poem's problem. Duty seems to be an abstract word, not really linked to any particular philosophy or religion, so that we don't know if he's talking about a Christian conception of duty, or whatever.
