  • on The Constitution's Last Fight by James Jeffrey Roche, on December 14, 2005
    My father loves naval history, particuarly of "Old Iron Sides" had I known such a poem existed, I would have shown it to him long ago. Now that I am aware of it I may have to incorporate that into his holiday presents somehow. Perhaps a painting laced with the words...the wheels in my head have been turning.
    Meanwhile, here I sit, typing about nothing when there is poetry to discuss!
    How rude of me!
    However, I must finish this at a later date, duty calls.
    Ahoy!

  • on Loss And Gain by Nora Perry, on December 14, 2005
    This is such a beautifully sad piece!
    I don't know with what intent it was written, but to me it expressed how empty such words as "They're in a better place" sound when you experience true loss for yourself. Not just empty, but callous and ignorant even.
    I had never heard of this author--I have been exploring new authors lately--and I will definitely have to check out some more of her poetry.
    The image of the 4th staza tugged on my heart strings.
    I can never imagine anything more painful than the loss of a child but two?
    The empathetic heart break is killing me!

  • on To __________ by Joseph Seamon Cotter Sr, on December 14, 2005
    I can definitely relate to this poem. I was just on the verge of writing, "Wow, you have a great classical style--I hope you write more soon" when I realized that I was on oldpoetry.com and not allpoetry.com.
    *sigh*
    Ah well, though precious few people write like this anymore, it is a fair sacrifice for the brilliant works of modern poetry.
    This poem sounds so familiar, but I have never heard the name of the author before. Of course, that is plain ignorance on my part, but I'm merely a child, I can't be expected to know everything.
    It was sweet and short and left so much to wonder.
    A beautiful piece--the break up song of the 19th century.

  • on Love by Benjamin Cutler Clark, on December 14, 2005
    What a lovely and romantic thought. It sounded so lovely when read aloud...almost like wind chimes. I have never heard of this poet before--yes, I know, I am horribly ignorant but atleast I can admit it. I loved the third stanza
    Though I am usually more fond of poetry with lots of hidden meanings and dark little twists, this was lovely for me to read. It was like listening to music.
