Richard

Verse 142

Tuesday, 23. September 2008, 00:37:29

poetry, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Coleridge

He went like one that hath been stunned,
And is of sense forlorn :
A sadder and a wiser man,
He rose the morrow morn.

And thus we come to the end of The Mariner.

What a great poem it is indeed.

But be sure to read Lokutus Prime's fabulous parody version, in continuing process on his splendid web site!

Verse 141Past the tipping point

Richard - deep thanks for your gracious eulogy and the publicity

dearest Princess

- you will still be able to read more new Parody verses for this Voyage because I will continue to write them, to fill in from Verse 1 up to Verse 79... and then I will have truly completed a mammoth parody poem that shadows the entire Voyage in full

A splendid ending, Loku, and thanks, as Douglas Adams might say, for all the fish!

I am so glad you are continue this over on your blog.

thanks for the reads, thanks for the links, thanks for the inspirations, and most of all thanks for the contemplation. my mind needed to find a freedom and i think between richard, loku, and coleridge; i'll be free forevermore.

Dang, I missed the big finale!

Oh well, I got to read it eventually anyway.

Richard, this has been a real achievment. I congratulate you on your efforts. It has been eductational and, occasionally, fun as well. Thank you.

I'm glad it was occasionally fun!!
