Perhaps one has to be logged into wordpress to see Discussion via Hubski. D'ya think? On my blog, DvH doesn't come up unless you click 0 comments - then voila. Now who's going to click 0 comments, so I add a comment (usually "read DvH")and then should a person click bloggers 1 comment, they see DvH).

Poems on the Wall

Great topic, and great poems.

I have poems on my wall: The song of the Wandering Aengus by William Butler Yeats;

Triolet on a Line Apocryphally Attributed to Martin Luther, BY A. E. Stallings:

  Why should the Devil get all the good tunes,   
  The booze and the neon and Saturday night,   
  The swaying in darkness, the lovers like spoons?   
  Why should the Devil get all the good tunes?   
  Does he hum them to while away sad afternoons   
  And the long, lonesome Sundays? Or sing them for spite?   
  Why should the Devil get all the good tunes,   
  The booze and the neon and Saturday night?
Not Waving, But Drowning by Stevie Smith;

the beautiful Let Evening Come by Jane Kenyon.

And a giant Periodic Table.
