I love your poems, Sir Walter Raleigh was a splendid love poem, the nurses' poem was a perfect stoic, almost sterile verse, the head sinking into towels like a snow angel was brilliant and cheers for the Oxford Comma! Thank you so much for the visit, look forward to reading more of your writing :-) Saravhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10289212188617046645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-91636461349673530.post-34805004654072410102013-02-16T08:57:37.371-05:002013-02-16T08:57:37.371-05:00I, too, am Team Oxford Comma.I, too, am Team Oxford Comma.Mary Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09078793537148794310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-91636461349673530.post-56234559046873436092013-02-15T21:48:24.199-05:002013-02-15T21:48:24.199-05:00A rich post indeed, filled with wonderful, lustful...A rich post indeed, filled with wonderful, lustful words, and such truth!

I fell in love with these lines:
&quo...Hi Tabatha, <br />I fell in love with these lines:<br />"She loves—there is no end to the catalogue— <br />his profile, his beard, his great foxiness <br />his manliness on his scaffold walk and speech <br />so if a drop of his divine blood flew<br /> <br />and landed on her dress she would <br />cut it out in a square and place it <br />behind glass and in a gilded frame <br />and draw a heart with Ralegh and her name."<br />Now if that isn't love, I don't know what is... to be reminded of that time when one draws hearts and initials on little notebooks, secretly, stars in one's eyes. To be young again. :)<br /><br />Hope you had a lovely Valentine's Day!GatheringBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04477710897574769648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-91636461349673530.post-79818891779032910442013-02-15T09:56:30.526-05:002013-02-15T09:56:30.526-05:00Hooray for the Oxford comma, and earrings to celeb...Hooray for the Oxford comma, and earrings to celebrate its use. Smither is new to me, and I was so moved by The Nurses are Coming.
