  • on The Passionate Shepherd To His Love by Christopher Marlowe, on October 31

    To the Late Passionate Shepherd ...

    It was my hand that you did seek,
    My mind was moved - I could not speak,
    Long days I dreamed of your embrace
    With mind replete - a state of grace.
    And as time passed I watched you roam
    The fields and hillsides close to home,
    A gentle shepherd with his sheep
    And I his love, good watch would keep.
    Until that time when your love changed
    And promises got rearranged,
    I sensed your love was insincere
    Soon months would turn into a year.
    And yet I could not let you go
    You’d won my heart - I loved you so.
    Then came the day - the news had spread
    That you’d been stabbed and left for dead,
    It was for love that you had died
    I felt betrayed but still I cried.
    And none would know of your request
    Or thoughts of how you loved me best,
    And though it was my hand you sought,
    Now that you’re gone - I’m left with thought!

  • on Casabianca by Felicia Dorothea Hemans, on July 18

    A Shocking Tale of Yesteryear ...

    I have only ever been associated with the first line of this poem and had never heard the rest of the story ... that is an amazing fact to me considering how interesting this poetical tale is. The author seemed to relate it well and kept it so it was very easy to read and understand. Though a tale of woe, I actually enjoyed it!

  • on Address To Thought by Felicia Dorothea Hemans, on July 17

    I was pleased to be introduced ...

    to another poem by this little known poet - to me. She shares some interesting lines written in an interesting form and I must admit that this certainly makes sense of that old mind that has a mind of its own.
