Don't mind Hardy. Just had a look at 'Panthera'. 'Untroublously' captured attention.

The definition of contemplation- -or rather... musing. We sit there by the old man/woman we will become and think solemn thoughts and even if written down, they fade away from the conscience of mankind.

Very interesting and enchanting. A reminder of those olden days when one book, one character, one ideal carried us through life.

Enchanting expression with nice penmanship. Interesting to read over and over again. It has justification for selecting in POD.

So centuries on even if a single reader enjoys reading your poems and loves them, you as a poet is successful.

Brilliant poem with nice theme and amusing expression. It is justified to be choosen this poem as the poem of the day.

lovely communication on that phantom- I commune with his spirit, And as none love him more than I, Thereby I gain a modest merit. - - - Saying: Old, you and I By sin are knit in mind and body....

A great poem honoring a genius by another equally great genius. Thanks for posting it here.

I feel at home with rejection in this poem, I am glad I am not alone and no one cares for my work, but I'll keep the flame of my poetry burning, perhaps tomorrow I won't be alone! Leaking pen
