First of all, you start with a wonderful cabeza from Robert Frost, one of his lesser-known poems, but a beautiful one that goes against our image of him as a lover of all nature... But then you expand on that theme and give it a twist, turn the forest into our neighborhood, the sound of birds into unruly children, expounded on the concept of sweet sanctuary. Wonderfully conceived, and wonderfully executed.Semaphorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16945917520773585129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1980374748220249244.post-13047764711460538912013-05-25T01:17:17.698-07:002013-05-25T01:17:17.698-07:00Congratulations on successfully navigating this fo...Congratulations on successfully navigating this form, which I for one found difficult. http://passionatecrone.blogspot.com.au/2013/05/wanting-to-comfort-sylvia.htmlRosemary Nissen-Wadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05913841031559499568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1980374748220249244.post-17724708734569526792013-05-24T23:17:28.583-07:002013-05-24T23:17:28.583-07:00The pragmatism with which you approach the issues ...The pragmatism with which you approach the issues is stunning, The poem ebbs and flows in mood beautifully, and I congratulate you.vivinfrancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07388722600118753457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1980374748220249244.post-47193613878730076922013-05-24T22:05:31.509-07:002013-05-24T22:05:31.509-07:00ah, another admirer of Frost ;)
