  • on Letter From a Father by Mona Van Duyn, on March 28
    I love this, the transformation from feeling near the end to realizing, even without realizing that there is always something more to live for, to enjoy.
    I like the journalistic way it's written, too, even though it's like a letter to his daughter who obviously must love him very much.

    A real feel good piece

  • on Himself by Alice Guerin Crist, on February 28
    I just had to come read this again. It's been a couple of years since I first read this poem here and it still carries the sadness of regrets intermingled with beautiful memories of love. If only we could turn back the clock and change just a few of life's regrets.

    This remains one of my most favorite of old poems

    Lovely

    Well, now I know for sure, Alice Guerin Crist has become one of my favorite old poets. She writes, as in this wonderful reminescent poem, in such a quiet natural way. I do love her style.

    It brought back sweet memories of my own grandparents and the mutual love that shown between them.

    A truly beautiful poem.

    beautiffully written

    This is such a tenderly written poem of sadness and regrets. From the very first line it was so naturally spoken, so real. All too often we fail to show our love and appreciation to our spouse, then are reminded of it after they're gone and it's too late to tell them how much we loved them.


    As I read the second verse, I could feel the tears welling. It was as though he was really there, letting her know that he still loves her, that he understands.

    The whole poem is breathtaking, and heartbreaking, at the same time, living with the regrets of unsaid words of careing. The persona is as if she's sitting here telling us her story, her feelings.

    I really like this piece. I think it has become one of my favorite old poems.
