Melancholetta

"Bombastes Furioso". -
In vain we roared; in vain we tried
To rouse her into laughter:
Her pensive glances wandered wide
From orchestra to rafter-
"Tier upon tier!" she said, and sighed;
And silence followed after.

-- Lewis Carroll

The sweetest songs are those that telleth the saddest tales...

A public Poetry Blog where members can post poems and/or their commentaries and conduct discussions. This group is a feeble attempt to keep alive our aesthetic senses, especially for English literature. A small caveat: it would be good if we could refrain from posting our original works (poems written by us); Melancholetta wouldn't want to malign the chances of budding unpublished poets!

If you came across this blog and would like to contribute your favourite poems or your commentaries on them as a member, please send out an email to dileepan@gmail.com or just leave a comment in our comment board. You will soon be added to our members list.
