And I enjoy poetry, I just rarely take the time to read poetry because it is so much work. My favorite poet is probably George Herbert. And my favorite poem is The Collar by the same. I intend to have the last couple lines of it inscribed on my tombstone one day, "But as I rav’d and grew more fierce and wilde At every word,<BR/> Me thoughts I heard one calling, Childe:<BR/> And I reply’d, My Lord."<BR/><BR/>Perhaps one day I will find out if the other sonnets that I have written will be as efficacious as you suggest! But I don't think the time is right just yet to share them. I'll let you know how it goes if and when that time comes!Jonathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14487069956496294063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7211471.post-43967042905513953222008-10-12T13:52:00.000-04:002008-10-12T13:52:00.000-04:00What lovely and inspired writings...The 'Homecomin...What lovely and inspired writings...The 'Homecoming' is especially poignant.<BR/><BR/>And here I thought prose writing was your forte and you'd never learn to appreciate a good poem. Just goes to show how we all change as we grow - both in years and spirit, and always for the best if we strive hard enough and channel our energy to the positive passions of life - whether to our God or to our fellow (wo)man.<BR/><BR/>Me thinks if you HAD written sonnets as inspired and full of passion for a 'deserving' lady, they might have gotten you in some trouble...well, maybe not TROUBLE, exactly, but you know what I mean... ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7211471.post-43892138905611996432008-10-11T21:43:00.000-04:002008-10-11T21:43:00.000-04:00Thank you.
