POETRY REVIEWS AS CRITIQUES
Why I Love Thee?/ By Carl Sadakichi Hartmann
Review Aug 4
Japan born famous haikai -ist' ventures into a rhymed abab double quatrain for a bio like descriptive of love..an impossible task..yet the nature of personal love being so compelling even we less talented poets are not immune to put stylus to screen
Review Aug 5
WILL S Sonnet 71

A typical Shakespearean (quatorze 12+2) sonnet form- with no title (preferring the verse to speak for itself:traditional first word capitalisation: in three abab quatrains for the body (meat of its content) :with the couplet (goto it)summary.In this case in an  negative (selfish?) epitaph like ' voice from the grave ' advice to his once loved one to 'let your love even with my life decay' a half empty ' sentiment perhaps to a lost love rather than 'widowed' one.
EMILY DICKINSON no 822
Review Aug 6
Emily's poetry (unusually for its era )was untitled so this poem is in reality posthumously known as 822,also its four quatrain length form  is very untypical of Dickinson's delightful(still popular) famous short form style .The great majority of her prolific output (for 19th century times) remained unpublished in her lifetime.No 822 has her typical 'occasional capitalisation' of nouns which does not help either visually to read & inhibits the cadence when reading aloud this somewhat morose content albeit so atypical of Emily poetics
The Castaway By William Cowper of 'Olney ' evangelical hymnal renown
Review Aug 7
Herfordshire born Cowper(pronounced Cooper) poet & of evangelical 'Olney hymnal' fame (with a fragile mental history) produces a very recitable cadenced eleven six lined verses in which the concluding couplets ten&eleven identify his overiding but underlying self--concern theme.Each stanza has a (abab )quatrain for the narrative with a (cc) couplet providing a running observation throughout revealing Cowper's elegaic state of mind
