THE LOOK 0:28

0:28

This is a sweet poem by an American Poet Sara Teasdale. I am sorry to say I was not familiar with her work, before I read this in a book of love poems. This is what I found out about her on the Internet: "Sara Teasdale (August 8, 1884 – January 29, 1933) was an American lyric poet. She was born Sarah Trevor Teasdale in St. Louis, Missouri, and used…

NATIVITY BY JOHN DONNE 1:45

7M ago1:45

1:45

Here's my poem for Christmas this year - NATIVITY by John Donne. John Donne lived at the same time as Shakespeare. They were two of England's greatest poets. John Donne had a rather checkered life, complicated - religion and his marriage, but was a magical poet. The guitar music is by Danish Composer Palle Knudson., whom I found on Pixabay. If you …

William Shakespeare wrote his poems and plays 400 years ago and, thank goodness they are still with us. Not only with us, but loved by many people still. What a giant of writing.

We know Tennessee Williams best as the great American playwright, known for A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE, CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF etc. However he wrote poetry, i could not find its title, but the thread that seems to run through all his work - love, lost love, frustrated, unrequited love, love yearned for is present here as always.

Bright Star by John Keats 1:02

11M ago1:02

1:02

I studied John Keats' poetry as one of my subjects for my leaving exam from school. I loved his poetry...he was one of the great Romantic poets. I am a romantic, not very useful in our challenging world, but still a great form of escapism. John Keats died young and knew the sadness of unrequited love, but his poetry rises above all that and he live…

In these days of soundbites and the briefest of sentences, the use of descriptive words seems to be dying away.
