on Ghazal 8 by Mahmud Abdülbaki, on February 28, 2004
I think this is the first work I have seen of Baqi - and I must admit I'm totally unfamiliar with this poet's work. (or am I confused? - the author here and the author on the feature list don't seem to match). This was rather nice, and though I'm not familiar with this form (looks almost like a Sonnet lacking the final two lines!) and it seems not all the lines have the same meter - but it was enjoyable to read, nevertheless.

on All day I hear the noise of waters by James Joyce, on February 27, 2004
Beautiful - especially the first verse with the comparison of the water to the lonesome bird.

on Love's Philosophy by Percy Bysshe Shelley, on February 22, 2004
Shelly has always been one of my favorite poets, and I have a book of Shelly's poems in my library. This one is just lovely, and a pleasure to read it again.

on I died for Beauty — but was scarce by Emily Dickinson, on February 1, 2004
Emily has always been one of my favorite poets, as her poems usually take a surprising twist at the end. I tried my hand at writing in her style with my poem "Old Man Winter" but I'm afraid I will never quite match her wit. If I'm not mistaken, she is another one of those great writers whose brilliance wasn't recognized until after she passed on - what a pity. It just goes to show that the critics don't always know everything.
