on How Little Red Riding Hood Came To Be Eaten by Guy Wetmore Carryl, on November 12, 2008
Brilliantly penned with fine rhyme and artful humor!
I shall look up this fine poet when by chance I get to Heaven because surely there is more of this in his wonderful mind.

on To a Lady with an Unruly and Ill-mannered
Dog Who Bit several Persons of Importance by Sir Walter Raleigh, on August 10, 2008I had no earthly idea that fine Sir Raleigh was a poet!
I knew only of his adventures and naught of his poet's grace. 
Now I shall look for MORE of his writing, for I adore this funny and clever poem. 
Beautifully sad...
My interpretation is that the young woman was forecast for an early death and the church bells were calling to her on that account. The couple planned to marry but the girl was swept away by death, as I see in the 5th stanza. As the poem ends the young man acknowledges that he is destined to die and speaks to the bells saying so. I love this precious poem.
