I read "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" for the first time just last week and was probably the only one in the class with tears in their eyes.

I can't begin to describe what I feel when I read this poem now - it just leaves me breathless and teary-eyed once more. Take care.

Prufrock is one of my favorite poems of all time. I love how you intermingled that and Hamlet. Brilliant.

I'm so glad I decided to jump over here from . This poem was amazing. The Shakespearean references were awesome, as well as the imagery you created with the sirens. Beautiful. I'm printing this and taping it on my desk.

i am in love with this poem. i am printing it out, now, as i type this, so that i can put in my filing cabinet in the "kick-ass poetry" file. Maybe it is because I have recently been on an Eliot/Shakespeare reading binge. maybe it is because i may or may not be in love. maybe it is just because you are a fabulous poet. any way you cut the cake- i am in love with this poem. There are so many great lines, that I cannot pick a favorite. "Until you ask 'what is it?' and I’m back in October." might be my favoite line, or perhaps it is the ending- "Suddenly I remember Michelangelo", or prehaps it is one of the other lines. Great poem. i love it, thanks for sharing it.
