"Kept up by relays of generations young". "Jack Roy" by Herman Melville
https://www.public-domain-poetry.com/herman-melville
Enjoyed :)- Herman Melville: An Introduction - Wyn Kelley... https://vdoc.pub/documents/herman-me...e-5c73lph4b790Quote:
The poems, “John Marr,” “Bridegroom Dick,” “Tom Deadlight,” and “Jack Roy,” in different ways eulogize sailors and together form a group, a “chorus,” of voices from the past...
The sailors are associated with the rhythms of poetry, the music of their “chorus,” as well as the beating heart of friendship and fellowship. The succeeding sailor poems, “Bridegroom Dick,” “Tom Deadlight,” and “Jack Roy,” sound similar notes in mourning the bluff, often untutored, and dashing heroism of the men: “Heroic in thy levity wert thou, Jack Roy”

Thanks for choosing a poem by Victoria Amelina, the brave H journalist, writer and poet that was killed in a raid, just some days ago. I'm going to post your poem on her obituary in another forum. Didn't mention her here, for I wasn't sure if anyone knew about her. I myself read her name for the first time some days ago, but here she is!
What a beginning!"B" poem follows tomorrow when I am on PC.

"DUST of the feet"."Clark Street Bridge" by Carl Sandburg

Thanks for your research... I didn't know either; a very distressing poem in such a short form. I had looked up the disease to find out about the wasting of the poor bunnies, but had no idea that it was introduced by man to a 99% mortality rate :(
Enjoyed the somber poem :) Analysis: https://literarydevices.net/clark-street-bridge/
"Every few months or so, I turn into a rock. First, my joints stiffen as if" - Ryan Teitman; Paperweight... https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poe...42/paperweight
Paperweight... Wonderful poem set in form of prose. One gets this "rock feeling".
re: Thanks for the analysis to "Clark Street Bridge", Ihad no idea where these bridge was. I' m breaking again the rules and reverting to "b", because I finally found a suitable translation of one of my favorite poems by beloved Lorca, which is somehow related to the tematic of "Clark Street Bridge". It´s a long poem and I think readers need some time to elaborate all its images, so the "G" poem, that is due, follows tomorrow(or, if you prefer, you get on with "G", I`ll do the next).
