Still enjoying the noble verses of the legend of Albion. As the poem is long I am reading it by parts. Enjoyed also this 18th century.
collection.
A poem by a poet with the name beginning with "X":
"Death always takes the shape". "Nocturne: The Bedroom" by Xavier Villaurrutia.
https://allpoetry.com/Xavier-Villaurrutia
I hadn't the patience to read Keats' epic; I added the audio recording because that's what I used to better enjoy the poem. Yes, the collection is quite nice too :)
A rather morose poem... enjoyed; also the analysis! :)
"Ye ancients of the earth, beneath whose shade" - Letitia Elizabeth Landon; The Cedars of Lebanon... https://www.bartleby.com/lit-hub/poe...-of-lebanon-2/
re Keats: I'll remember not to post to long poems.
"The Cedars of Lebanon". Love this kind of poetry.
"Today I reach the zenith of my life,"."The Zenith " by Hamish Mann
https://www.scottishpoetrylibrary.org.uk/poem/zenith/
Lol... long poems are fine, I'll just find a video or audio version :)
War=glory... nuh-uh; another soldier/poet senselessly cut down. (sigh)
"Awake! for Morning in the Bowl of Night" - Edward Fitzgerald; The Rubaiyat Of Omar Khayyam Of Naishapur... https://eliteskills.com/c/7246
The Rubayat looks interesting and complex, but I´ll have to read it later.
Editing not possible.
So:
"Beauteous is it in the summer-night, and calm"."Charlemagne and The Bridge of Moonbeams" by Emanuel Geibel
http://www.poetryatlas.com/poetry/po...moonbeams.html
Enjoyed very much... a fanciful blessing by the spectre Charlemagne! Parker is whispering to me about the possibility of a "________ On The Bridge of Moonbeams” in the near future... I'll wait and see what she has in mind :)
"Creatures there are in life of such keen sight" - Francesco Petrarca; Sonnet XVII... https://www.public-domain-poetry.com...net-xvii-28412
Petrarca- enjoyed the comparison with the moth.
"Dawn takes the everlasting skies"."A Cemetery in France" by Edwin Curran
http://www.poetryatlas.com/poetry/po...in-france.html
"The dawn now takes it up the sky on wings / And in the song of every bird it sings, / The dead, the dead--gone on their wanderings."
"Even she too dead! all languor on her brow," - Walter De La Mare; Imogen... https://www.public-domain-poetry.com...e/imogen-33529
"Imogen" - wonderful images! Enjoyed.
"Fair lake, so picturesque in space,". "Greenwood Lake" by Isaac McLellan
http://www.poetryatlas.com/poetry/po...wood-lake.html
Beautiful lake back in the 19th century; I wonder if it is still as accessible. Enjoyed :)
"Gather, O gather," - Percy Bysshe Shelley; Cancelled Stanza... https://www.public-domain-poetry.com...d-stanza-31376
Enjoyed but found the title curious.
"Had a birthday yesterday".The Birthday Party by Madison Julius Cawein
https://www.public-domain-poetry.com...ay-party-11637
re: title - If my research analysis holds up it shows that "fragments" and "canceled stanzas", et al were part of Shelleys revision process. Using a search of the word "cancel" in the following document shows that the "canceled stanza" was removed from a greater work, but retained as a stand alone piece... https://www.iqbalcyberlibrary.net/fi...4//IPL0341.pdf
Sweet poem... enjoyed :)
From my friend and current El Dorado County, CA Poet Laureate:
"In a logged over meadow" - Steven Meadows; Tenmile... https://www.sacramentopoetrycenter.c...-brigit-truex/
re "canceled stanza": interesting information, tailor, thanks. In fact it works well as a stand alone piece as it´s meaning is complete in itself.
Enjoyed "Tenmile",interesting how the poet mingles landscape and history. I´m going to put the poem into the other American forum.
"KEEP a red heart of memories". "Haze" by Carl Sandburg
http://www.poetryatlas.com/poetry/poem/5100/haze.html
"I know a woman is looking for you / and her soul is a corn-tassel kissing a south-west wind." - :) Enjoyed this poem by Sandburg very much!
"Lemon moon upon Azores and finbacks" - Michael Metivier; MARE COGNITUM... https://ariadnemag.com/michael-metivier/
Mare Cognitum-Interesting poem that aludes to the ancient sea travelers and warriors.
"My brother still bites his nails to the quick,"Here’s an Ocean Tale" by Kwoya Fagin Maples
https://www.poetryoutloud.org/poem/heres-an-ocean-tale/
"So much hurt is forgotten with the horizon / as backdrop. It comes down to simple math." Too close to the mark... Her brother was lucky.
"No one has yet to live," - Lawrence S. Pertillar; Qualities We All Have... https://www.poetry.com/poem/99386/qualities-we-all-have
"Qualities..."Interesting sintax. Smiled at the detail of the drink:
"And a Heaven,
Blissful.
To never ever end.
With our favorite beverage to sip,"
"O camp of flowers, with poplars girdled round,". "O Camp Of Flowers" by Erik Johan Stagnelius
https://www.poetry.com/poem/12759/o-camp-of-flowers
Fanciful poem... enjoyed :)
"Poor are the gifts of the poet" - Richard Le Gallienne; To Maggie Le Gallienne With Love... https://www.public-domain-poetry.com...ith-love-23653

"Quite the character"."Queen" by Javon T Rolle

A poem of discovery; enjoyed :)
"Round the cape of a sudden came the sea," - Robert Browning; Parting At Morning... https://eliteskills.com/c/4826
A short analysis of Brownings beautiful poem which compares love making to discovering new countries:
https://genius.com/Robert-browning-p...ning-annotated
"Saturday night: the sun is going down;"."A Picture" by William Osborn Stoddard
http://www.poetryatlas.com/poetry/po...a-picture.html
re: Browning - yes, I see.
A Picture... tried to find an analysis, no joy. Put it under the romanticist's "Browning" lens and got a little muddled; hence it must be an ekphrastic as the title suggests (a picture) or a snapshot in the poets mind - S4 prolly best suited for evidence. Enjoyed :)
"'T is you that are the music, not your song." - Amy Lowell; Listening... http://famouspoetsandpoems.com/poets...ll/poems/19974
re "A Picture":
You are right.There is movement in that scene. A picture would have to be more estactic.
"Ulysses, much-experienced man,". "To Ulisses" Alfred Lord Tennyson
http://www.poetryatlas.com/poetry/po...o-ulysses.html
Enjoyed! A wiki analysis: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulysses_(poem)
"Victory comes late –" - Emily Dickinson; Victory comes late –... https://journeys.dartmouth.edu/white...e-fr195a-j690/
Thanks for the helpful analysis of the Ulisses poem, tailor!
Interesting blog. The poem itself is sharp. The analysis again is very helpful, don't know if I would have been able to understand the poem without it.
"We've always been out looking for answers,"."Listening in Deep Space" by Diane Thiel
https://www.poetryoutloud.org/poem/l...in-deep-space/
"what will we do when we find each other?"... Good question... enjoyed :)
"X is for ten" - Elizabeth Coleman; X IS FOR TEN... https://kapitiindependentnews.net.nz/?p=84424
Enjoyed this legit "X" poem.
"Yellow-bird, where did you learn that song,"."Yellow Bird" by Celia Thaxter
https://www.litscape.com/author/Celi...llow_Bird.html
Sweet children's poem :) A popular song from days gone by: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASWOpXFUMGw
"Zero-sum game" - Gajanan Mishra; Zero-sum game... http://www.citatepedia.com/comments.php?id=395297
Loved the song and the old style singers, Going to listen to the other songs too.:)
Rather drastic poem, but a legitimate Z poem.
"A child is bumbling along the boardwalk"."Point Pelee" by Mark Nenadov
http://www.poetryatlas.com/poetry/po...int-pelee.html
Enjoyed this poem very much: "eye candy for the walkers"... :)
"Between my finger and my thumb" - Seamus Heaney; Digging... https://www.poetryoutloud.org/poem/digging/
Loved so much this comparison between pen and spade: "Between my finger and my thumb/The squat pen rests./I’ll dig with it."
"CAN scenes like these withdraw thee from thy wood"."The Streamlet" by George Crabbe
http://www.poetryatlas.com/poetry/po...streamlet.html
Half a km from the Blacksmith's Cottage - seems to have dried out by now; perhaps still a garden or a wood ? Enjoyed the poem :)
More on the poet and his works: https://www.poemhunter.com/i/ebooks/...be_2011_12.pdf
"Do not despair of man, and do not scold him," - Stevie Smith; Do Not!... https://www.poetryoutloud.org/poem/do-not/
Thanks for the Crabbe ebook!
"Do not"-I could swear this poem was written by a man until I read the bio.
"Each day I go into the fields"."The Farmer" by W.D. Ehrhart
https://www.poetryoutloud.org/poem/the-farmer/
A poem of futility in contrast to William Carlos Williams' poem: https://www.poetrynook.com/poem/farmer... enjoyed :)
"Factory windows are always broken." -
Vachel Lindsay; Factory Windows Are Always Broken... https://allpoetry.com/Factory-Windows-Are-Always-Broken
"The Farmer". Agree with your comparison, tailor. If one thinks of the farm as representing the human field of action or even the poem itself for Ehrhart it seems a sort of "Loves labor lost". To live, to work and even to have and raise chldren (They would not understand me/if I stooped to lift a rock/and hold it like a child, or laughed,") seem futile attempts, while WCW's farmer looks proudly at his farm, seeing in it a constructive work in life and art.
Enjoyed very much "Factory Windows Are Always Broken..." and the analysis of the poem.
"Game for anything, they have a live model,"."At the Porcelain Factory, Aveiro" by Neil Leadbeater
http://www.poetryatlas.com/poetry/po...2C-aveiro.html

https://www.poetryoutloud.org/poem/authors-prayer/
more poetry:https://www.ilyakaminsky.com/poems
Interesting poem... Quite the accomplished poet. Not sure but the poem reads as if the protagonist feels guilt about being alive. Enjoyed.
"Joy of my life, full oft for loving you " - Edmund Spenser; Joy of my life, full oft for loving you... https://www.poetryoutloud.org/poem/j...or-loving-you/
re Ilya Kaminsky. Agree. This idea is still more explicit in this other poem:https://www.poetryoutloud.org/poem/w...uring-the-war/
Enjoyed "Joy of my Life..." this 16th C poem.
