Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before. ~ Edgar Allan Poe
Enjoyed!

"I seemed to have sensed also from an early age that some of my experiences as a reader would change me more as a person than would many an event in the world where I sat and read. "
Gerald Murnane, Tamarisk Row
Much enjoyed this astrological/astronomical poem!. Not to disturb the sequence my poem is on page 14.

To An Unborn Pauper Child Quite mellancholy - Wikipedia: "Many of Hardy's poems deal with themes of disappointment in love and life, and "the perversity of fate", but the best of them present these themes with "a carefully controlled elegiac feeling".[49]"

The first lines caught my eye, naturally. I really enjoyed the Autumn imagery of the poem.

Sorry, tailor and Muse! A typical senior blunder! When I wrote post # 198 it was on a space on page 13 before post #. What I totally forgot is that the post would not appear on that place but be published only on page fourteen after intervening posts including the #197 it was referring too! Going to edit it.Page 14 ? Looking... (smacks head with palm)... we're on page 14 (lol)... nope... still looking....
figured it out: Pg 14 here if one is signed out... my Pg 5 because of my page preferences
Hope your young head is fine after so much smacking, tailor!

"young"... lol
"'The Dark Angel'" is a very dense and dark poem... found some understanding here: https://www.thedarkfortress.co.uk/li...p#.YtPL9DHMLIU
"The Philosopher" - another incredible poem "--Still to my Death will say/Three Gods within this little frame/Are warring night and day"... more struggle.

Interesting poem "An Online Friend Dies Somewhere Outside the Internet". I believe it is the first poem about internet relationships that I read. Love this Canada based site.

The map was improved this time by a photograph of Forest Hill station. But couldn't find the poem itself, not even by googling it.

Weird... Here's the poemKing David... a sweet poem.Forest Hill Station (by) Yasemin Balandi
Junkies line up by the infant day;
Insomniac, achnied.
Conductors speak in tongues
Banal, hackneyed.
A graffito declares peace
On the weeping walls
In magenta and peach
Another declares "Love is phat!"
The ceiling above is laced
With pigeon mess
Passengers greet each other
Talk about weather forecast
Our beloved Forest Hill Station:
With your quirks and
Amusing history
(For your tracks were
Water carriers once)
We love you dearly.
