on We Wear the Mask by Paul Laurence Dunbar, on September 5, 2007

Ever the Actress
A wonderful commentary on the poem - you've reached down and personalized it - This mask covers many!

We certainly do wear masks!
All are guilty and disguise ourselves. We ache and don't want to carry the pain on our sleeves or to know they have hurt us - and won. Mine is usually a smile that disguises a current loss of love - never imagining myself in such a mess. And this clay that God made us from - we wash and shave each day hoping to be accepted maybe even loveable.
God Bless you Paul Lawrence Dunbar - your words are living on and still relevant today.

on Summer by James Thomson, on August 24, 2007

I was hoping to find Musidora!
He painted a picture of her and I assumed that this poem "Summer" would contain her name!
Lovely poem all the same and the metering was great!

on Dream Boogie by Langston Hughes, on July 29, 2007

Wonderful Beat!
Just as a musician plucks at a string to fill the silence - the words here are musical to the mind!
