Love Lies Sleeping Comments

Light as helium! ! ! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.

The narrative with it's detailed sweep of love is just fascinating. Enjoyed the beautiful poem.

Comprising, comprising all beautiful lnguage words and emotional summary of a great superior love poem. Thanks to this great poet

This is a lovely poem which manages to be a paean to a city without abandoning realism. It strikes me as an opposite to Ginsberg’s Howl. I especially like her description in the fourth stanza. -GK

a fine poem from the great Elizabeth Bishop.

This is not a very good poem for Valentine's day. I hope POEMHUNTER.COM do better next time. Many great poets have written better Valentine's poems for the day of LOVE, poetry and passion. Thank you! Vox populi, vox Dei.

SOME TYPOS makes us wonder if we have received the actual words the poet intended. THIS CARELESSNESS ON THE PART OF PH IS NOT ACCEPTABLE..

A magnificent poem by Elizabeth Bishop.......

oh; heart touching stanza- The sparrows hurriedly begin their play. Then, in the West, " Boom! " and a cloud of smoke. " Boom! " and the exploding ball of blossom blooms again // LOVE reciprocally smells everywhere but covetous we DESTRUCT it indiscriminately

Excellent poem, love is hidden somewhere and it is for us to find...

the poem was inspiring and it has taught me alot about love thanks alot for your inspiring poems.
