these are my love letters
each house engulfed in flame - the trouble with snapshots at allpoetry
They float like ghosts through haunted halls

on The Face That Launch'd A Thousand Ships by Christopher Marlowe, on December 20, 2003
Yeah, but If I was Marlowe I could write like that too.
Hmm... I hate to say it, much as I love this poem, but the first thing I think of is parody when I read the first line...
"Was this the face that launched a thousand ships?
Really? Well, I mean shes pretty but come on!
A thousand?! Thats a bit showy!"
anyways, It is a classic and I wont make chris roll around in his grave too much for the sake of my enjoyment.
One thing it does is inspire me to read more... my poetry is entirely to devoid of literary allusion. -
on The way your little finger moved by Stephen Maria Crane, on December 20, 2003
sigh!
its pretty universal... those tiny gestures... the way a person walks, breaths, glances... I can feel the shivers in his spine and the rush in his heart

Its a little broad for me though... personally...
The arc of emotion is rather wide, and I get lost in the transition
maybe I just need to grow into an understanding of Crane's stylistic choices.
