A great week of poetry!

I really enjoied this week in poetry. There were several good ones that I liked, but I did have two favorites that I find equally interesting and enjoyable. They are, "Say Over Again" by Elizabeth Browning and "The Woman's Cause is Man's" by Alfred Tennyson. Both written about love. I loved "Say Over Again" because I felt that I could really indentify with the woman in the poem wanting to hear over and over again her lover to pronounce his love to her and mean it with all of his heart. Even though i loved this poem, "The Womans' Cause Is Man's" was by fat my favorite this week. The way Tennyson protrays the love shared between a man and a woman and how they are very different, but simply complete each other was absolutely beautiful!
