I'm glad you like it too. :...@Red - No problem! I'm glad you like it too. :)<br /><br />@A. Mitton - I really like that Frost poem too. I have heard a lot about Rime of the Ancient Mariner, it is featured in one of my favorite books but I have never taken the time to read it. I'll have to get on that!<br /><br />@parrish lantern - Oh I loved that! I have enjoyed all the little poems you've left for people in the hop, you must know a lot about poetry. "Burnt out end of smoky days" is from that song from Cats as well, they must have borrowed it from the poem (hopefully legally!)<br /><br />@ toni - exactly. I wish that girl would love him.<br /><br />@gautami tripathy - I'll have to read that one soon. I love finding new poems!<br /><br />@ readerbuzz - I loved your post!LLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11194834748090369779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5076308692811460989.post-86030298321174312212010-12-04T06:13:01.329-08:002010-12-04T06:13:01.329-08:00I can still remember hearing this poem read by my ...I can still remember hearing this poem read by my twelfth grade English teacher in high school and feeling the sadness of the poem sweep over me. <br /><br />Here's my post: http://readerbuzz.blogspot.com/2010/12/literary-blog-hop-favorite-poem.htmlDeb Nance at Readerbuzzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12128529491888701996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5076308692811460989.post-35238050258867869892010-12-03T03:01:39.948-08:002010-12-03T03:01:39.948-08:00You have to read Wasteland too!

I have loved to read a lot of poets and poetry over the years and still find something new every day. I have gone through phases liking, poets, and moving over to the the next. So many yet to read. <br /><br />Here is my <a href="http://readbookswritepoetry.blogspot.com/2010/12/literary-blog-hop-favourite-poetry.html" rel="nofollow">Literary Blog Hop</a> post!gautami tripathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04192356825699543613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5076308692811460989.post-19075614508011571892010-12-03T02:26:25.136-08:002010-12-03T02:26:25.136-08:00gosh, I love prufrock. so tragic.

At least, I've always thought so. <br /><br />I love Robert Frost's "Mending Wall" (all of Frost is gorgeous though) and I also really liked "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" by Samuel Coleridge. It's not a happy poem in any way, but the writing is just so good...A Mittonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03017133301345946872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5076308692811460989.post-74804424899169672982010-12-02T16:04:56.234-08:002010-12-02T16:04:56.234-08:00I hadn't read this in a long time.
