Sometimes you can, sometimes you canto - a Poetry Friday post

Jun 29, 2007 09:19

Today, an excerpt from Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage, A Romaunt by George Gordon,
Lord Byron. Byron was born in 1788 and died in 1824. He was one of the finest poets in
Regency England, and known as one of the High Romantics despite his avowed dislike of
Romanticism.

( a short, if racy, biography of Byron )

He was quite a rake, that's for sure.

These ARE lovely, Kelly.

And I want to tell you how much I enjoy your Poetry Friday posts. I feel like I am taking a poetry class. (I need one, but thank goodness you don't assign homework!)

You are most welcome, you crazy double-poster, you!

Yeah, what was up with that? Slip of the finger, I guess.

These ARE lovely, Kelly.

And I want to tell you how much I enjoy your Poetry Friday posts. I feel like I am taking a poetry class ... an inviting and easygoing poetry class with no homework. I love it.

oh, yes, all loveliness! I may be reading more into those verses, but I'm catching echoes of what I'm writing, here. The second part that you posted today, especially. Taken out of context, it could be a chapter header for part of my wip...
I love poetry... it makes me feel all warm inside.

I'm so glad you enjoyed it -- and poetry really is a wonderful thing, I agree.
