		<description><![CDATA[Last week, I posted Longfellow&#8217;s ode to Tegner, a Scandinavian poet from the 19th century.  So that got me wondering who this Tegner guy is.

So, I went to the library, where they had one book of his translated poetry, which said that really only Longfellow really knew of him, and he never really caught on [...]

		<description><![CDATA[This is another poem from Tales Before Narnia (which will be reviewed soon, I promise!).  

In the introduction to the book, Anderson says:
Many of Lewis&#8217;s inspirations can be traced to his wide reading.  In Surprised by Joy (1956), an autobiography of his early life, Lewis noted that one of the experiences forming his pleasure in [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Dear God do not think that I am 43 years old.  I certainly didn&#8217;t write it.  Please don&#8217;t call me ma&#8217;am, either.

Lemme back up.  I have suddenly become addicted to reddit.  TIL (that&#8217;s &#8220;today I learned&#8221;&#8230;though, actually, I&#8217;m writing this in advance, it is actually Monday) that this week is Charles Bukowski&#8217;s birthday.  He would [...]

		<description><![CDATA[I doubt that I am introducing anyone to this poem.  In fact, probably everyone who does FreeVerse has already used it (if there&#8217;s anyone left doing FreeVerse&#8230;Come back to us, Cara!)

But, I was searching for quotes on something unrelated today and I came across the last few lines, and that made me want to reread [...]

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been reading this book about stories that influenced C.S. Lewis, called Tales Before Narnia.  It&#8217;s crazy overdue at the library, so I should be giving a proper review of it soon.

In the meantime, I thought I might use it for a few FreeVerse posts.
 As you can imagine, the book includes some bits from The [...]

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m watching this documentary on punk rock, and it makes me all nostalgic for&#8230;well, for my whole life.  My oldest sister was into punk in the &#8217;80&#8217;s and that&#8217;s where it started.  

So, yeah.  Anyways.  I&#8217;m reminded of songs I like and thought I&#8217;d put one up for FreeVerse, even though I think that Cara [...]

		<description><![CDATA[I almost didn&#8217;t go with this poem.  God only knows what kind of spam I&#8217;ll get.  But in the interest of bringing you good poetry, I went with it.

Besides, deciding which William Carlos Williams poem to use and not wanting to use something sexual or violent, slims down the available selection considerably.
I guess that has [...]

		<description><![CDATA[FreeVerse is a day late this week.  Oops.  But, Cara is still hiatusing, so there&#8217;s no linky anways.  But it occured to me that I should still post a poem, and I chose one of my own.  

I&#8217;ve been doing some filing of my old writing and came across one of my favorite poems I [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Sorry there was no FreeVerse last week.  I sort of just forgot.  But in my defense, Cara, the FreeVerse hostess, has been haitusing again, and there was no FreeVerse linky.

Actually, there&#8217;s none today, either.  
But still!  The poetry must go on!
The thing I like most about Ogden Nash is his name.  For real.  If he [...]

		<description><![CDATA[You know how in Monty Python &#38; the Holy Grail God is all don&#8217;t avert your eyes, I hate that, just like those psalms, they&#8217;re so depressing!  Scroll down if you want a refresher.

Anyways, most psalms have some sort of redemptive value, some glimmer of hope.  
Except for one.
Psalm 88 is my favorite psalm because [...]
