REPORT ON THE HISTORY POETRY CLASS

Friends,

No subscriber's name will be mentioned ,nor any poem show-cased in this report of the History Poetry Class, in accordance with the basic policy that all submissions or subscriptions of poems shall be non -competitive.
Subscribers, however, are reminded that they may enter their subscriptions in the OP Weekly Contest or any other.
The response to recent "The Romance Of Pocahontas" is much better than to the previous ":Anthony and Cleopatra", thus indicating that the History Poetry Class may survive for some time. Some folks have admitted that they were not aware that this Indian princess was of such importance to the founding of the American nation. Some have even dug up their genealogy to discover that a trace of the blood of the fabulous Indian flows in their own veins. The History Poetry Class is serving to present history in a new dimension with a novel and dynamic perspective. Thanks to the poets who subscribed the excellent poems ( every poem subscribed was/ is excellent) as well as the very pertinent and salient comments that were made.

Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
