I took you up on your poetry challenge this month. I wrote a bit about John Keats's Ode to a Nightingale here:<BR/><BR/>http://asweetunrest.typepad.com/weblog/2008/04/ode-to-a-nighti.html<BR/><BR/>and I also talked about two poems from Antonia Fraser's collection called Scottish Love Poetry here:<BR/><BR/>http://asweetunrest.typepad.com/weblog/2008/04/prayer-to-be-wi.html<BR/><BR/>and here:<BR/><BR/>http://asweetunrest.typepad.com/weblog/2008/04/lost-love.html<BR/><BR/>Thank you for the encouragement to stretch myself and not just post the poem itself, but what I actually thought of it. I needed it! All the best to you.Greerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10609436940241320517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13774780.post-32689869577225685992008-04-23T00:56:00.000-04:002008-04-23T00:56:00.000-04:00Here's another poetry post for your enjoyment.
