  • on A Challenge To The Dark by Charles Bukowski, on May 20, 2004
    I'm laughing at all the comments that say "Keep up the good work." Charles Bukowski is dead. I like this piece for its rejection of popular control by the forces that are both mindless and vicious. The challenge to the dark is, hey, i'm not going down like that. You can have your wars and hate, but I refuse to be sucked into it all. I like that. I am not the most familiar with his work, but this seems like a decent piece and I might be checking more of his stuff out. Thanks to whoever promoted this piece. Good idea.
    Peace,

  • on Sonnet 18: "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?..." by William Shakespeare, on May 6, 2004
    Yeah, a lot of Shakespeare's early sonnets were actually written to an unnamed young man. Was Shakespeare gay? Well, this poem, which is many peoples' favorite example of Shakespeare's sonnets, and which is always regarded with romantic love, is one of those sonnets written to the young man. I think you could debate about his sexuality, but that would be fruitless, it is better to just enjoy the poetry. Nice work on this one, Billy!

  • on Hot And Cold by Roald Dahl, on April 16, 2004
    Roald Dahl cracks me up. I haven't read this one before. He is a genius. What silly fun. Kind of disturbing, but in an innocent 'I don't know it's disturbing' kind of way. I wonder what he thought about this piece?

  • on I Am A Beggar Always by e e cummings, on April 13, 2004
    I felt the rhyme in this actually. Mind, blind; rid, kid, among others. The presentation does things with the rhythm and flow of the piece, so that those rhymes may be downplayed, they aren't the most important part by any means. The story, beautifully conveyed, of a beggar in our minds...just give him something to be content with. I like that concept a lot. 'Just enough dreams to live on'...Which is why EE Cummings is quickly moving up my list of favorite writers.
    Oh: I think instead of 'the he will maybe', it should be 'then'. Typo perhaps. But with him you never know.
    Peace,
    Lo
