Re: A poem that I read today by Mac

I admit Eliot's anti-Semitism is a disturbing prejudice.

An article on Yeats' elitism:

Facetiously is one of just two words in English to contain every vowel in correct order.

Cheers,

Re: A poem that I read today by Mac

I'm not that much engaged by Yeats, his politics and beliefs, I find Eliot a more engaging read. However, sifting his poems, reading the notes on them in my book, and watching lectures on YouTube, has helped me to appreciate him more.

Re: A poem that I read today by Mac

The philosophical side of your poetry John prompted me to think of Four Quartets.

Re: A poem that I read today by Mac

The final stanza is a killer. Liked the 'brewing dusk'.

Yes, I used to do NAPO with that group. I haven't done it for a few years, but may join them again this year.

Re: A poem that I read today by Mac

I must admit I hardly noticed the rhyme. I was more interested in the personification, probably because of Tony's recent poem, which I also enjoyed.

Re: All Men on Earth

Did your partner wear a hanbok John?😃 Liked on the royal throne sat only air and the washing out of contours. On the subject of equality the king falling from his horse wishing to be a better man was a fun tale, though the narrative is male orientated.
