POPSAnnabelle Lee OK, reading a poetry clip on CM got me started! This is one of my favorite Poems and Poe is incredibly dark and romantic and gothic. The beginning starts like a fairy tale and if you think they all end happily ever after the reader is in for a surprise. Poe uses strong uses of images in this poem. But his love for her is so powerful that he can't let go, he mourns, he dreams to her eyes; and every night he goes to her grave and lies down beside her. He was obviously a man who was madly in love and I think Poe felt the two of them were placed solely on Earth for each other. WOW.

POPSBurmese Days Earlier this month censors forced the weekly Myanmar Times to skip an issue after it reported a 15,556 per cent increase in the cost of a satellite television licence. The price rise was seen as an attempt to limit access to foreign media. (DT)

POPSSappho's poetry Her style was sensual and melodic; primarily songs of love, yearning, and reflection. Most commonly the target of her affections was female, often one of the many women sent to her for education in the arts. She nurtured these women, wrote poems of love and adoration to them, and when they eventually left the island to be married, she composed their wedding songs. That Sappho's poetry was not condemned in her time for its homoerotic content (though it was disparaged by scholars in later centuries) suggests that perhaps love between women was not persecuted then as it has been in more recent times. Especially in the last century, Sappho has become so synonymous with woman-love that two of the most popular words to describe female homosexuality--lesbian and sapphic have derived from her. Plato elevated her from the status of great lyric poet to one of the muses.

In "Your Mother and My Mother," the poet writes: "Fear is the cheapest room in the house. / I would like to see you living / In better conditions."

POPSHafiz - A new Quote (of a deeply religious nonbeliever) i collected 9 selected Hafiz poems in 3 clips from the book "The Gift" 4 wit, wisdom & 4 your joy .. ;-) extracted from review in Morning Light Bookstore: " With this collection of 250 of Hafiz's most intimate poems, Daniel Ladinsky has brilliantly succeeded in capturing the essence of one of Islam's greatest poetic and religious voices. Though Hafiz is only now being discovered by many in the West, his poems have had a deeply felt influence here. Of Hafiz, Emerson said, "He fears nothing. He sees too far; he sees throughout; such is the only man I wish to... be." While Goethe enthused, "This is a madness I know well -- Hafiz has no peer."
