Waterboys - And A Bang On The Ear

Okay, here's a poem I pick for you Ashlea. Songs to Survive the Summer by Robert Hass. I don't think it's available to download online. And it's rather long, so it's not in many anthologies. So I'll be patient until you can get to a library. No rush. It's included in a volume of his entitled...

I agree. Of the two sonnets you compared, I tend to like the EBB better. But as for the two types of love. The love of passion that is subject to influence and change or the more permanent love for love's sake, perhaps the ideal is the first slowly evolving into the latter. As for love...

Well, Teach, I'd like to hear more of your thoughts on the sonnets. If you had to pick a favorite, which would it be and why? What images hit home with you? :)

TMG - I sent you a couple of PMs. Did you get them?

Ah, the brave Writer has returned! :) :) :) Is class once again in session? I am here wishing to be taught. ;)

Thanks for your encouragement. It's funny how it's the stanzas that just fall into place without much thought that are often the most effective ones. :)

THE POEM OF YOUR BODY The poem of your body, Of my eyes floating in your emerald sea, Of my lips drinking your warm sweet wine, Of my hands caressing your smooth, pale skin, Of my tongue in graceful ballet with yours, And my body melting slowly into your body, That poem is the sweet...

Well, actually, you can just click on my name anywhere to bring up my profile and then there is a link there to send me an email. :)

Sorry, I have my PM turned off. :( You should be able to email me though. Just go to the members list area. :)

And I be Bloody Harry Kidd Every pirate lives for something different. For some, it's the open sea. For others (the masochists), it's the food. For you, it's definitely the fighting. Even though you're not always the traditional swaggering gallant, your...

Oh, Professor Ashlea, why do you think this is? :confused:

Okay, I picked this up at lunch and read all 44 sonnets quickly (in about an hour). I didn't stop or let myself get hung up on individual words or phrases that I didn't quite understand. I just wanted to let the music of the poetry wash over me and get the very general feelings of the sonnets...

No, that's quite all right. Mention shower as much as you'd like. I have no problems with you mentioning the shower. Please. Mention it. ;) Seriously, they must be getting quite tired of us by now. Maybe, we should just start a TMG/tugger thread where we could be off by ourselves and others...
