I'm taken by this simple poem although it's often greatly panned by the scholars. You can link to it at
http://eir.library.utoronto.ca/rpo/display/poem235.html How black is the nightly sky And the day so bright; But the light of day must die With the dawn of night. The love of our life denies All that's nightly black: But the light of a whole life dies When love we lack. ·······  ······· |

Dear JGT,
I'm one of those who can only rise as far as parody : MARITAL SLICE The wife has a thousand eyes, hubby only two, yet she don't know where 'e's at when he's on the blue. The wife has a thousand tongues her poor man just one; yes, it's 'er will slice 'im up, when he is well done ..... Alan McAlpine Douglas Love Alan |

Dear Alan,
I started writing parodies, not paraphrases. Parodies were admittedly much fun as they gave free expression to one's imagination as yours here so well demonstrates. I'm sure that if the spirit of Mr B. looks in here, he'll be pleased with us both. Nicely done! Cheers, jgd ······· ······· |

Dear Cleo,
I'm promoting this only to demote it. Regarding the chapbook, I'd limit my contribution to "In Tribute to All the Bards I've ever Paraphrased" dropping this one. Cheers, jgd ······· ······· |
