Bill Holm Poetry: Jan 3, 5:35pm 1 review poetry
http://northfieldlibraryfriends.org/bill_holm_poetry.html; From the page: "Some People Like Poetry Some people-- that means not everyone. Not even most of them, only a few. Not counting school, where you have to, and poets themselves, you might end up with something like two per thousand Like-- but then, you can like chicken noodle soup, or compliments, or the color blue, your old scarf, your own way, petting the dog. Poetry-- but what is poetry anyway? More than one rickety answer has tumbled since that question first was raised. But I just keep on not knowing, and I cling to that like a redemptive handrail. Wislawa Szymborska, translation by Baranczak & Cavanagh"

She Walks in Beauty: Nov 14, 2007 5:55pm 1 review poetry
http://www.ladygabrielle.com/She_Walks_in_Beauty.htm; From the page: "She Walks in Beauty She walks in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies; And all that's best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes; Thus mellow'd to that tender light Which heaven to gaudy day denies. One shade the more, one ray the less, Had half impair'd the nameless grace Which waves in every raven tress, Or softly lightens o'er her face; Where thoughts serenely sweet express How pure, how dear their dwelling-place. And on that cheek, and o'er that brow, So soft, so calm, yet eloquent, The smiles that win, the tints that glow, But tell of days in goodness spent, A mind at peace with all below, A heart whose love is innocent!"

NPR : Iraq Soldier Describes War in Poetry: Mar 17, 2007 7:31am 1 review poetry
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5126583; The Soldier Poet - Brian Turner From the page: "Najaf 1820 * Brian Turner reads "Najaf 1820" Camel caravans transport the dead from Persia and beyond, their bodies dried and wrapped in carpets, their dying wishes to be buried near Ali, where the first camel dragged Ali's body across the desert tied to the fate of its exhaustion. Najaf is where the dead naturally go, where the gates of Paradise open before them in unbanded light, the blood washed clean from their bodies. It is November, the clouds made of gunpowder and rain, the earth pregnant with the dead; cemetary mounds stretching row by row with room enough yet for what the years will bring: the gravediggers need only dig, shovel by shovel.

Well go no more a-roving, by Lord Byron: Feb 28, 2007 6:29pm 2 reviews poetry
http://www.poetry-archive.com/b/well_go_no_more_a-roving.html; From the page: " WE'LL GO NO MORE A-ROVING by: George Gordon (Lord) Byron (1788-1824) O, we'll go no more a-roving So late into the night, Though the heart be still as loving, And the moon be still as bright. For the sword outwears its sheath, And the soul wears out the breast, And the heart must pause to breathe, And love itself have a rest. Though the night was made for loving, And the day returns too soon, Yet we'll go no more a-roving By the light of the moon."
