on Design by Robert Frost, on August 3, 2004I really liked this version of the write much better than the first. My minds eye can grasp the scenary better with his adjustments to the wording of this write. I think he just simplified the write by using more common words that, to me, give a better description of the scene. Enjoyed reading this one.

on In White by Robert Frost, on August 3, 2004As I read through these lines I found myself wondering at times what they meant and then I read the later refined piece that he wrote and could understand things a little better. I think this write is lacking in laymens terms and makes it harder to understand, or to get the full picture of the moth hanging in the web on the flower.

on Fuzzy-Wuzzy by Rudyard Kipling, on August 3, 2004I see that all through out the write he drops the "h" from the words and the pronunciation kinda gives you fits until you figure out the scheme of things. I also thought that he was not belittling this race but rather congratulating them on their battle prowess.
I saw that some made small work of Kipling for writing about this but I think you have to stop and realise that if in the era when he wrote this it was the world view of how things was and not todays views firstly and then secondly it wasnt his fault if the army had an advantage over another culture. But even today I will note that not all cultures are on a even keel when it comes to technology or even farming. I think we are all men/women of our times. Everyone wants to feel accepted and usually goes with the majority's vote. If you dont believe me just look at our last president, Bill Clinton, I didnt vote for him...........lol.
I enjoyed the write for its historical worth, though it was harder to read than I usually like in poetry. -
on Little Orphant Annie by James Whitcomb Riley, on August 3, 2004As I read through this write I got the thought of perhaps an older caretaker of the kids, a midwife, or wondering gypsie may have recounted this tale to a group of kids. I think that writer was at least educated enough to know about reading and writing and understand its effectiveness. I agree with AndrewHide in the fact that they person writing this probably came from a group of individuals that were not as educated as most today. Or perhaps they were and just related the tale as it was told to them, one may never know.
I really enjoyed the tale as I read through it. Seeing how everyone gathered around the harth would have probably been glued to the speaker until the whole tale was told. I can just imagine that this was probably one of the kids most favorite times as there wasnt a whole lot to do back in the era this write came from. Anyway, anyhow, anywho......whomever wrote this did a great job I thought.
