"Last night at black midnight I woke with a cry," - Vachel Lindsay; The Ghosts of the Buffaloes... http://famouspoetsandpoems.com/poets...ay/poems/19208
"The Ghosts of the Buffaloes..".Impressive poem.I thought it was a recent poem but Lindsay died nearly hundred years ago. It reminded me of the destruction the floods made in the south of Brazil during May.

"Just Once! Oh least Request!" - Emily Dickinson; Just Once! Oh least Request!... https://bloggingdickinson.blogspot.c...t-request.html
Good article. But I'm afraid that the next wave of destruction will affect a great quantity of humans too. And it seems to have started already. Speaking of it, winter has started already and there are Brazilian capitals with temperatures about 36 and 38 grades C. And the forecast is that the summer in the north half of the sphere may reach 50 grades. You probably will have to do something to protect family and pets.
Enjoyed the new riddle of E D. Interesting discussion in the comments: a gift is turned in an intense request for acceptance.

Restful night... rarely.
Thankfulness?... I practice as much as possible. "Dream of the beach."... it's all I can do; even when I was in Monterrey I never saw the ocean nor the beach... too hurried here and there and having to get home (sigh).

"O, how I faint when I of you do write,"."Sonnet 80" by William Shakespeare
https://readalittlepoetry.com/2007/1...akespeare/amp/
RWE: Incredible article... "I am God / in nature; I am a weed by the wall."...
From Wikipedia: "The Poet (essay): For poetry was all written before time was, and whenever we are so finely organized that we can penetrate into that region where the air is music, we hear those primal warblings, and attempt to write them down, but we lose ever and anon a word, or a verse, and substitute something of our own, and thus miswrite the poem. The men of more delicate ear write down these cadences more faithfully, and these transcripts, though imperfect, become the songs of the nations."... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Poet_(essay)
John Muir on Emerson: “Emerson was the most serene, majestic, sequoia-like soul I ever met. His smile was as sweet and calm as morning light on Mountains. There was a wonderful charm in his presence; his smile, serene eye, his voice, his manner, were all sensed at once by everybody. I felt here was a man I had been seeking. There Sierra, I was sure, wanted to see him, and he must not go before gathering them an interview! A tremendous sincerity was his. He was as sincere as the trees, his eye sincere as the sun.”... https://www.ralphwaldoemersonhouse.org/blog-travel
Shakespeare: Wonderful sonnet; a short analysis... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonnet_80
"Passion impels me, Love escorts and leads," - Francesco Petrarca; Sonnet CLXXVI. Voglia mi sprona; Amor mi guida e scorge. / He Describes His State, Specifying the Date of His Attachment.... https://www.poetrycat.com/francesco-.../sonnet-clxxvi
RWE-A very poetic essay about poetry. John Muir's comment is also a poem in prose.
Thanks also for the helpful analysis. I didn't know there was a rivalry between two poets.
I prefer Wollaston's translation of Petrarch.
