The Wolf and The Dog by Jean de la Fontaine. Why did I translate this poem? Because it is a fine piece of poetry with something to say. I found three translations of it on the Net, all of them unfaithful to the original, so I decided to rectify this problem. My version does not rhyme but is close to both the spirit and letter of the original. Posted on 1 Nov 2006.
Highway 66 is a poem based on "The Grapes of Wrath" by John Steinbeck. I assembled this piece because I thought there was a fine poem hidden in pages 141 & 142 of Steinbeck's novel. Except for one line, all the text is pure Steinbeck, so he should take all the credit. Posted on 1 Nov 2006.
Reflected Venice is a poem inspired by my photos of water reflections in Venice. Posted on 11 April 2008.
