Sara Teasdale ... http://www.poemhunter.com/sara-teasdale/ I read "There Will Come Soft Rain" and will return to read many more.

I liked it too, but enjoyed most "Sacrifices" by Richard Jones. One gets the feeling what winter in the northern hemisphere is like

Incredible life Tasso led... and oh what might have been had he not been afflicted. The poem you cited "Sacrifice" by Richard Jones is incredible. Our winters in the California Sierra Foothills (Gold Country) can be quite severe and our wood stove serves us well. I think I latched onto Sara Teasdale's "There Will Come Soft Rain" because I have been listening to the "Martian Chronicles", an audio book, and it has a short story by the same name and similar vein.

Thomas d'Angleterre https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_of_Britain

I didn´t know he was the author of "Tristan and Iseult"

I enjoyed th poem "Mondesaufgang". It seemed to me to be better in English without the rhyme scheme.

Don Marquis... a favorite of mine. I tried to bring his spirit to a trio of poems inspired by Hawkman a number of years ago: "moiaussie" 7/15/2010 http://www.online-literature.com/for...-(for-hawkman) (pardon the cyan... select the poem by right clicking and dragging the mouse/finger); & "moiaussis reprise" & "death of pious the hedgehog" both 7/20/2010. A reading of Don Marquis' poem "mehitabel dances with boreas": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Pb__Tm31qU

I´ll try to read the poem tomorrow by daylight. I am very shortsighted and I couldn´t read it in cyan. What is a "moiaussi" (me too)?

Manoel de Barros- a taste of Brazil

mais oiu ! I have a short story I wrote this year, some where, where I explain how moiaussi received his name... it was a little buggy and hasn't seen the light of day yet. If your browser has the option to "select all" under the edit tab (Firefox has this feature) it should highlight the poem so it can be read easily.

re: Manoel de Barros - "There were unbridled horses in the scrub grass, their backs covered with butterflies.": I would have loved to see this... I have an affinity for butterflies. I enjoyed "Song of Seeing" in the English and will look for more of his poetry.

Bhupi Sherchan http://publishing.cdlib.org/ucpresse...&brand=ucpress

Of course, I should have thought about it. It´s a very funny poem!
