its a nice poem
with good rhyming
i think a poet writes his hearts feeling
as per the situation he/ she went in their lives
therefore if we read a poem in the way the poet wants to tell us while he was writing the poem what he must be thinking while he was writing
then i think that we will understand and like the poem :) :) :) :)

Awful poem. A real clunker.
  Eve Anderson  (4/18/2009 6:57:00 PM)

Great Poem! :) So well written! Have a good day!
  Michael Harmon  (4/18/2009 12:10:00 AM)

Prior to making a comment, perhaps reading a poet's PH biography might be beneficial.

It shouldn't surprise me, but somehow it always does when
I read comments posted about a poet/philosopher's work
over a hundred years old with such harsh judgment!

A psychiatric clinic for his refusal to become domesticated?
Did we read the same poem?
  Cecilia Nicoletti  (4/19/2007 8:49:00 AM)

If Thoreau was alive he will be probably into a pschitryc clinic for his deny to become domesticated.

Claire -

The author of this poem, Henry David Thoreau, has been dead for 144 years.

As such, I don't think he would mind if you put this poem up in your friendship group.
  Claire Page  (4/18/2006 9:34:00 AM)

Your poem on Friendship is sobeautiful, I am wondering if I may put it up on my friendship group that I run?
