• on To A Small Boy Standing On My Shoes While I Am Wearing Them by Ogden Nash, on January 4, 2005

  Not my favorite Nash poem but it certainly shows his typical tongue-in-cheek cynicism. I loved the way he took everday situations and expanded them with wit and rhyme.

• on Design by Robert Frost, on June 1, 2004

  Yes, this one was much easier to understand (one of my standards for good poetry). I think frost used more specific word choices in the second version. Maybe his vocabulary was bigger. And yes Silica, it gives a young poet hope.

• on Sonnet XVII: I do not love you as if you were brine-rose, topaz by Pablo Neruda, on May 26, 2004

  I was to see this Old Poetry sonnet that doesn't exactly follow my vision of what a sonnet is. It had no rhyme and no iambic pentameter. Still, I know there are many sonnets written without those things and it was 14 lines. Of course too it was about love, the classic sonnet subject.
  
  The poem was, I am sure, brilliant, but honestly didn't appeal to me that much. I did really like the line "I love you as certain dark things are to be loved," I'm just not a big love poem fan.

• on Fuzzy-Wuzzy by Rudyard Kipling, on May 25, 2004

  Thanks Silica, I truthfully couldn't make hide nor hair of this poem and was waiting for someone to illuminate me. Now I may precede on with my homework.
