There is not enough gratitude in poems. It's a lovely thing to look back and thank the ancient ones.

I love free verse, but when I read a well-executed sonnet, then I know the poet has command of the tools of his trade. This one speaks volumes about who you are.

I feel humbled to read such a fine poem. It is flawless and its motivation to be written, moving...all your poems are magnificent...and your biography reads the same way - fascinating!

One of your many superb sonnets, Michael. Since your modesty forbids you, let me take the initiative to plug your book of sonnets. Interested readers can punch up 'Godstow Press' and learn more about it from them. I'd quote the title, but I've lent my copy to a friend in Burlington, and I can't remember it exactly.

I especially like the last two lines-this poem speaks well. Nice piece-thank you. Debi

Steady, Kenneth. You might unleash the 1-eyed dogs of war...

Magnificent sonnet Michael...I bow to your overwhelming talent. Thank you for the beautifully stated history lesson. Kenneth
