  • on Alone by Edgar Allan Poe, on November 6

    stupendous

    here he is saying succinctly that the mysterious source of creativity in his life started in his early childhoon, drawn out from the depths of his soul by nature, a nature colored by his own mind's perceptions. It is such a profoundly simple statement that speaks on multiple levels. True poetic genius. I think he had, from the first, a difficult childhoonand and troubled. Perhaps his genius arose to help him survive this world. Well, I think that we all have the muse in us, that can arise and help us see ourselves, and the world, in a way that can connect us to others and help us make sense of what ordinarily we can't understand. Poe just showed us the way, a path we can all travel. Poe was one of the first great poets to draw me out of myself and make me think. A true pathfinder.

  • on Brink Of Eternity by Rabindranath Tagore, on April 21, 2006

    masterpiece

    This poem brought tears to my eyes...feeling the sorrow of a lost loved one, and knowing the only solution is in dissolution, for I can never forget...how could he express it so completely?

  • sublime

    I know this poem is a deep truth, and it echoes in my heart.

  • on Look To This Day by Kalidasa, on April 19, 2006

    excellent!

    I love this poem of Kalidas; it succinctly states the importance of being in the present, fully, and how magnificent the effect of that would be. I felt uplifted.
