Jeez, Cad. Why do I get the feeling that Giuseppe and Grand Papa are different men?

This suggests I tried too hard on that last and only sonnet of mine. Fine by me.

Um, this is actually a little old but I went ahead with Shoeis' suggestions because I'm beating myself about the pate deciding how important music is to my poetry. Deep inside, I'm a believer, no matter what the world thinks. Thanks.

I find myself leaning toward Mr. Pound whenever he suggests poetry MUST have music, to be true poetry. The one thing I keep coming back to is the lack of music in most of my poems. I think that it is the ONE thing keeping me from growing. Any time I DO have music, it seems forced. Maybe I should study music for a while, no? Thanks for your time.

A question for you and Sasha. Is it possible to write good, even great poetry without lyricism or music? Just for my own knowledge.

In order to understand poetry more , may I ask: What is the purpose of translating a poem which has been translated probably more than once? In the meantime, it pleases my ears and thanks for introducing me to ANOTHER poet whom I shall probaly never understand were it not for translations. Voting in this case seems futile without being able to read Italian. 10

Aside from the rogue period at the end of the Unsheathed line, it sounds good to go.

Submissive was the wrong word. Indirect might be a better word. Nevermind. I read it with VOLUME this time and heard the beat in all stanzas. bravo.

yah. I really wanted this to have more but it came on strong and then petered out on me I hate it when that happens.
Probably the most strange combination I've seen to date.
