on A Dream by Alice Cary, on March 15
Liked the flow, rhythm and rhyme of this piece. Poetry is universal - writers share their words and it passes through generations. Nearly 200 years old these words and yet still alive. Nice idea to do this here - sharing old poetry from way back with today's readers and writers as well.

on The Hard Times In Elfland [A Story of Christmas Eve] by Sidney Lanier, on December 23, 2009
Quite the epic written here - good rhythm, rhyme and flow to this tale of Christmas long ago. Enjoyed the read and the images shared in these lines.
on Growing Old by Gerald Massey, on August 2, 2008
Liked the flow, rhythm and rhyme in these lines. Guess there are so many ways of writing about growing old; nice to see how others in previous generations wrote about it.
on The Graveyard By The Sea by Paul Valery, on July 24, 2008
French and English both - great visions. Interesting rhythm and rhyme scheme used throughout this poem. Seems like an epic could be written here - long and detailed.
