Wow, talk about history ~ I think of the shrew, Taming of the Shrew in fact...this is a powerful piece --- drew me in and held me captive ~ and at the end, (knowing you must be drained from this one) yet, wanting more!!!  Viva la Shelly ~ ring on ~ ~ Love you dearly, Elyse xoxox

Now that's quite a piece you've written.  I liked it's progression and the ending was quite good.  Well done!

Brilliantly written

This poem was an education indeed - not only in poetry, but in life and works of Socrates.  Thank you

Good to hear her side of the story! So often a woman's contribution to a great man's work has been forgotten. Thanks for sharing this. Could you please explain why you have chosen to lay it out in that way. I remember reading one of your poems about a ship and the shape of the text illustrated it. Is this something similar? Have a nice day!
