A Sonnet a Day #12: Gerald Manley Hopkins
Reviewing the poems we’ve read so far, it’s clear enough that they all share features that we can identify and describe as sonnet-like: fourteen lines long, following a regular rhyme-scheme (though the

Sonnet-a-Day Challenge # 9: When th'Assault was Intended to the Cittie
I’ve always felt that poetry should be at home – no, embroiled – in the world. It’s not that a poem is a journalistic act, or a piece of propaganda, or anything other than a poem. But poems, like their
