on Bazonka by Spike Milligan, on June 12, 2004Aaawwhhh...c'mon...everyone has to stand on their head and say "Bazonka!" at least once in their life. Who knows...tonight may be your night? It will probably be mine, can't help myself, I've got to try it! LOL! This was a wonderful dip into the sillies.

on The Waking by Theodore Roethke, on June 12, 2004This is actually a Villanelle...thus the refrains. In a Terza Rima you would also have 3-lined stanzas (tercets), but that is where the similarities end. A Terza Rima has the following rhyme pattern aba bcb cdc ded efe then ends in a final two-line stanza (couplet) that holds the same rhyme as the 2nd line of the previous tercet..in this case ff.
This was a very well done Villanelle. The refrains fit smoothly into their respective stanzas...this is no easy feat...and they also worked together nicely as the closing two lines. I enjoyed reading and will have to explore more by this poet. Elaina

on Night by Anne Bronte, on June 12, 2004Another poem about longing for a lover long in the grave...she does well with this theme. I do not know her history, but assume it must be experience that led to this keen intuition. I liked the 2nd stanza best. It's true that we do have an escape in "the land of dreams" when all in waking life is not-so-sunny. I appreciated this write and its sorrow and longing. Elaina

on Beast and Man in India by Rudyard Kipling, on June 12, 2004An interesting look from the animals perspectives. Not a pretty one either...more the sad truth of it.
