Ah, interesting. I confess that, while the surface had a good deal of beauty to it, this poem really didn't do it for me. Now, I'm a great lover of ...

Oh, bravo! This is a excellent effort and no mistake, I can tell it's been put together with a great deal of thought and solidly exercised technique. I don't mean ...
