• on Witches Chant (from Macbeth) by William Shakespeare, on September 3

  ' bout ready

  got all the ingredients assembled and ready to go - got a 55 gallon drum substitute for a cauldron perched inches above a pile of timbers - one problem: can't find a liver of blaspheming Jew - they must be either stingy, or wise - any suggestions?
• on The Day Is Done by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, on May 12, 2007

  This and Thomas Hard's CHANNEL FIRING are my choices as the two greatest poems ever written

  hi, this poem (by Longfellow) in my opinion almost perfectly decries life as it is lived in New Orleans where I lived until Katrina expelled me. The last four stanzas nail the soulfulness that is unique there and riveted to the essences of the greatly diverse people there. It clearly portrays New Orleans life. The last stanza affirms the way a life is lived there - for it is the only alternative to the decay and misery and hopelessness that is the reality there.
  
  *** read it several more times slowly and thoughtfully and you will or at least may begin to get a taste of the sorid wonderful soulful lives that stir around in that pot that is the steamy swampy raunchy rotting river city we all know, love and call New Orleans ***
