Dorothy Parker was a one of kind woman and poetess. An incredible imagination to project great rhyme and subject matter. Sometimes with a poetic, cutting edge satire and thank goodness for that. Thank you Dorothy Parker and sleep well. Sleep well.
Sleep well good Dorothy. Sleep well. For you were one of a kind. And thank you. You are Heaven's gain.
Another delightful poem. Dorothy Parker's work is among the best as far as I'm concerned.
A beautiful poem by the witty and acerbic but always brilliant Dorothy Parker. A poem displaying her feelings, hopes and desires also her feelings of a loss. A magnificent and brilliant woman of her time. Sleep well good Dorothy and thank you.

This website is very helpful.I really hope you put more light and dark poems .
nicely written poem and a good use of words I like this poem who wrote A beautiful prayer, remaining timid and submissive, only with an intense wish...... Lest you should grant me him.... too good
A beautiful prayer, remaining timid and submissive, only with an intense wish ...... Lest you should grant me him. ... too good
My only wish I dare not say- Lest you should grant me him..... Brilliant expression to expose the obsessive heart. Enjoyed.
Sounds like Dorothy knew what she wanted - but was at the same time fearful that she would be granted him. Perhaps it had something to do with the mention of a liar.... Miss Parker was an absolute pistol!
The end is interesting. I am glad that wishing on a star does not work. What would life be without a little bit of sorrow; a little bit of working for what we want? A little bit of waiting and a little bit of anticipation for the things to come whether they are good or bad.
Swing you low or high away, Burn you hot or dim; My only wish I dare not say- Lest you should grant me him An excellent poem on love which makes love eternal and supreme I enjoyed it. Col Muhammad Khalid khan
