"Clouded with snow"."Winter" by Walter de la Mare
https://allpoetry.com/poem/8494519-W...ter-de-la-Mare

Enjoyed :) Curious what a frost-fire was in the context of the poem in WdlM's time... all the wikis describe 'it' in modern fantasy gaming.

"Down-adown-derry," - Walter De La Mare; Down-Adown-Derry... https://www.public-domain-poetry.com...wn-derry-33296

I didn't find a good article on the subject. Could there be wildfires in frosted areas too?

Enjoyed the legend of Annie Maroon.

"Early summer rain--"."Early summer rain--" by Yosa Buson
https://www.poemine.com/Yosa-Buson/E...mmer-rain.html

That must be it.

Buson was heavily influenced by Basho... The translation of this poem into English must have lost some of its savor.

"From out the wood I watched them shine, -" - Walter De La Mare; Haunted... http://www.newforestcentre.info/gothic-poetry.html

Maybe. I liked its simplicity though.

Enjoyed WdlM's poem. It didn't give me the feeling of hauntedness, but of permanence in the memory of loving ones.


"Gruffly growled the wind on Toller downland broad and bare,"."The Homecoming" by Thomas Hardy

"His image the Dog did not know," - Walter Crane; The Dog & The Shadow... https://artvee.com/dl/the-dog-and-the-shadow-3/

Enjoyed very much the humorous children poem and specially the illustrations. :)


"It is not the world"."Latitudes of Exil" by Michael Jackson
https://poetryarchive.org/poem/latitudes-exile/

Wonderful albeit a puzzle of a poem for me... tried for some reconciliation on the dates surrounding Pablo Neruda's passing: https://www.onthisday.com/events/date/1973/september... perhaps the return of Peron or Allende deposed in coup ? Enjoyed :)

"jazz harmonica" - Dayna Genevieve; jazz harmonica / haiku... https://www.jerryjazzmusician.com/a-...z-poems-vol-1/

Not an easy poem, these new poems never are.I liked the images.

Wonderful translation of a Petrarchan sonnet by Luís de Camões (Portuguese: https://www.culturagenial.com/poema-...vaz-de-camoes/ :)

Beautiful wrestle with a poem by dear Emily... Enjoyed :)

"neither for me honey nor the honey bee” - Sapho; (295)... https://joshuagrasso-58239.medium.co...s-b51edc766bb7

Thanks for the link in Portuguese! :) It is a famous if not the most famous of Camões sonnets. But where does Petrarca come in?
My point was that some of the antithetical love poems of the Renaissance (it hardly could have been Camões) somehow influenced ee cummings.

Sapho sadly behind inscription wall.

Quote:

---

A Petrarchan sonnet, also known as an Italian sonnet, is a 14-line poem written in iambic pentameter and structured as an octave (8 lines) followed by a sestet (6 lines). The octave typically follows an ABBAABBA rhyme scheme, and the sestet often uses CDECDE or CDCDCD. It's named after the 14th-century Italian poet Francesco Petrarca (often anglicized as Petrarch). - Wikipedia

as opposed to a Shakespearian sonnet: (ABAB CDCD EFEF GG)

Influenced... absolutely!

Sorry about Sapho's page... odd, it allowed me in... the poem is complete with the first line.

Daisies: Delightful poem :)

"Pale hands I love beside the Shalimar," - Laurence Hope/(Adela Florence Cory Nicolson); Kashmiri Song... https://allpoetry.com/Kashmiri-Song

I see. I understood something totally different, that Camões' sonnet was a translation of a sonnet by Petrarch.
