February 28/March 1

For Rundel :  no meeting March 1

What a terrific discussion on Thursday, as per usual!  I am so grateful for all your sharing of insights and compassionate discourse.   In the Poetry Oasis brochure, it says there is no session March 1.  However, I will be out of the country for two weeks… so NO session on MARCH 1,

but YES a session March 8.  I have asked Mike, our" ultra-regular” to moderate… but have every confidence that the group will produce the usual high level insights and thoughtful contributions.  Reading aloud, stanza by stanza: you’ll note the rhyme of the only native English-speaking  poet, Wilbur, known as formalist… Enjoy!

Just in case there is a delay, I will be sending out the poems for March 15 this week-end as well .

David Sanders will lead a discussion of these sonnets on 2/28
William Shakespeare: Sonnet 129 Th' expense of spirit in a waste of shame 

 John Donne: Holy Sonnet 10 (Death, be not proud, though some have called thee) 

   William Shakespeare: Sonnet 18 (Shall I compare thee to a summer's day)

 e. e. cummings: sonnet If I have made, my lady, intricate

 William Wordsworth: Sonnet  The world is too much with us; late and soon,
