| Posted by Mara Meade on 11/15/07 at 03:14 PM The premise is incredible, as is the poem itself. There's food for thought here. Beautifully expressed. |
| Posted by Kristina Woodhill on 11/15/07 at 03:47 PM Fascinating piece of pondering - lovely in rhyme and presentation. And where would I be today had you and Mara not pushed me to join this fine circle of cliffhangers to splash among the words! |
| Posted by Kathleen Wilson on 11/15/07 at 04:14 PM wonderful the day blue words of all our days dreams we who here echo one to another segue after segue you to me, me to you they through us (would be amazed at our fortunate masguerades)...and yes, blue of day as here the now and black scrawl of night's signature on this lit page... we dream to dream associate, rage, smile and sigh into each others eyes. |
| Posted by Gregory O'Neill on 11/15/07 at 09:35 PM What a good thing has come from your contemplation. For me this envokes Longfellow, who said: "Then read from the treasured volume, the poem of thy choice, and lend to the rhyme of the poet, the beauty of thy voice." And that you have done! Most excellent! Thanks. |

| Posted by George Hoerner on 08/21/08 at 06:57 PM Really nice POTD m'lady. I've thought often of many of the creative greats of history and wondered how they would survive in this current. Just as I wonder how I would have made it 200, 500, or 1000 years ago. |

| Posted by Sandy M. Humphrey on 08/24/08 at 12:40 AM I love when something I have not seen before pops up as poem of the day especially something as wonderful as this and then it rises to the top of the favorites list and you wonder how could I have missed it in the first place because it is now one of my fav's as it should have been all along. smh |

| Posted by Jean Mollett on 05/09/09 at 04:40 AM Hi Elizabeth,
Great write. Lovely thoughts, remembering poets. Lots of pondering too. Wonder what the poets that are gone, would think of the internet, etc. |
| Posted by Jean Mollett on 05/09/09 at 04:40 AM That is if they were living now, today. That would be very interesting. :) |
| Posted by Philip F De Pinto on 10/17/09 at 10:58 AM if all the planets that you've mentioned, Emily Poe Thoreau and the rest signed on to Pathetic. they could not help but orbit round You, You being the Sun. they being the moths rapt in the brightness of You. |
