Lara (Inspired By Dr. Zhivago) Comments

Love is so beautiful... Really enjoy ending it... Thanks... ^-^

I have read this more than I can remember and each time it brings me closer and clser to the love the two had. I do need to see the movie and would love to read the book. This is definitely one of my favorites.

This is a beautiful poem, well written with good rhyme. I loved Lara and want to watch the movie again.

Yuri Zhivago (as well as Boris Pasternak himself) always lived on the edge of emotions, an idealist with dreams striking against his reality. In my opinion, you have captured this essence in your poem..also that everlasting hope of an uncontrollable human spirit piercing the novel(unfortunately I have not seen the movie that inspired you so I judge on the basis of the original book) . I also see the reminiscences of the poetic style of Boris Pasternak in general in your work. The poetry of Pasternak in itself is quite clear, vivid to being nearly ecstatic and espressed in 'rhythm and rhyme' pattern, too. Congratulations from me, a great pleasure to read, Greenwolfe! Best wishes to you. A.

great poem once again sir.....brilliant crafting as usual......10 all the way

I don't have enough sweet words to actually give a good comment to. all i could muster was amazing, it was utterly amazing. this poem will be in many hearts of poets now and poets to come.. this sweet delicate poem will always be in my heart.. ~ Love Hazel G.E

Although I had read the book by Boris Pasternak, it wasn't until I saw the movie and the portrayals of Zhivago and Lara by Omar Shariff and Julie Christie that I fell in love with the story of Dr. Zhivago, Greenwolfe. The scenery in the film was magnificent and no one who saw that frozen little house in the snow can ever forget it. Your wonderful poem was a beautiful testament to the love of Lara and Zhivago, filled with the amazement of their love for each other despite their each being married to someone else. It is a unique love story, which endured many hardships and heart breaks. You have concentrated your energies and talent upon this poem and done a tremendously effective job with it, well deserving of the praise it has gotten. Carl.

a beauitful poem a real pleasure to read

This poem posesses a sweet sensuality that is pleasing to the poetic nostrils.

The languid look of Lara and the way she is betrayed, , , , , , , , , , Lara to me is the soul of Russia in the novel andby extension the humanity, , , , , , , , only if Boris Pasternek had told us what happened next, , , for if he could bring her back to life then? , , yes lovers will sing songs for her for all times to come, ,1962, you have chosen a worthy inspiration for yourself, , ,

When an icon sparks inspiration and a love poem is written about an enduring love then volumes pour out through the words and the feelings which is spoken forever.Beautiful tribute to Lara.And a very good movie.*******************************

Great piece of verse green wolfe, cracking good subject too cheers jerry

A great poem and it seems that you loved her more than Yury...........Lara is a wonderful character in the movie and the book too, merits should go to Boris Pasternak definitely.

I wish I had the time to comment on all the poems I've read so far but the day is just to short and busy. So far I'm not dissapointed for every poem I have read so far of yours has been a pleasure.

Oh this is filled with so much love... Such a tender story from your opening stanza to the end... This is trully I feel one of the best I have read by you, I am so sorry I have not read this sooner. Enjoyed the theme of an enchanted love affair.... Bonnie

Love exudes from this one and it is happy and sad all at the same time. A joy to find and read. I would give a 10 for every one of your poems I have read today. Love and hugs Ernestine XXX

Interesting - I don't recall that I've yet seen Dr. Zhivago - perhaps it would be a good choice to watch with my Russian wife? Then I'll be better able to relate to Lara's character. >^.Karl!

Boris wrote a great book, which became a great movie too. Your poem does justice to them both and also Lara. Bob

A passion-filled poem I loved Doctor Zhivago - looks like Lara's became your muse too.

Inspired by one of my favorite love stories, it's very romantic. And it's so lyrical that it reminds me of Edgar talking about his Annabelle Lee. MMmmm, Very dreamy. X's and O's
