    Hi
    can anyone tell me how to pronounce the word sead in John Donne's poem The Good Morrow.
    'Let sead discoveries to new worlds have gone, '

      No. It doesn't exist. The line reads, " Let sea-discoverers to new worlds have gone" - and it's " The Good-Morrow" ...poor Donne... (bloody hilarious, all the same) .

    Philosophy Of A 'Crazy' Guy

    There once lived a devotee crazy guy
    Who believed that he easily could fly
    On a big tree, he climbed high
    But soon he came down
    Noticing the earth is better than the sky

    Hi friends,
    Today I have posted a new poem entitled ‘The Bull And The Bear’. The poem speaks about the ups and down in life drawing an analog with the topsy-turvy turns of fortune as witnessed in the stock market. Please read the poem and post your invaluable comments and votes. I dedicate this poem to the New York and Bombay stock exchange.

    Dear Friends, I wholeheartedly invite you to read my poems, post your comments and register your precious vote. For friends.......

    I wish to take you on a poetical flight
    And show to you some glorious sights,
    But you have to bear witness whether my efforts are really worth
    Or are they better be buried deep in the earth?

      Dear Rajesh, I want to first say that I really like your poems. But I noticed that in many you are having a flow problem. The content is good in most of your poems, but the rhythm and the flow need ... more

    What do I do when I have found out that a poet belonging to Poethunter.com has stolen one of my poems? I wrote: " As I Watch You Grow" for my daughter years ago. As a matter of fact I have had it published. This morning I found it written word for word by Clarrissa Fausett and just now it was listed as written by Clarrissa Berry. What am I do do? Is thee anything I can do to make her stop posting is as one of her originals. Thank you, Kay Theese

    Just heard from Anna Russell that Ted Sheridan passed away after his very long battle with cancer. Ted was a great poet and a lively character - one of the first on PH to encourage me as a beginning writer. Rest in Peace, Ted.

      Sad news. I remember Ted way back when I first joined PH many years ago. He was an excellent poet and a voice of reason amongst the troops. He will be missed.
