Another four? Something wrong with these, Lisabeth?
Comment from J. P. Egry
Since I've read several of your poems, I feel that you have great fun writing them, and that you have an excellent command of the process and mechanics of writing. This is such a perfect recounting of Cyrano in poetic form (he would have definitely approved of this). I love that you have gotten into his inner thoughts and used his voice to tell the tale, not just giving us a third person narration. Even the title is wonderful. Kudos, again.

Thanks so much, J.P. for those very kind words, and I do have to say I derive a lot of joy out of constructing these verses. I really appreciate your great review! David
Comment from Bryana
I'm glad you decided to post this poem.
You certainly have the Cyrano's talent,
without the nose is even better.
Your poem made my day!

Comment from Tomes Johnston
This is another great poem from the author. This is exactly what writing is all about. We should be paying tribute to the old masters.

Great poems.

Scale those battlements. Just make sure you have a key to the belt. Cyrano, just write a bad limerick for the timid dolt to read. But then again, I don't think you are capable of a bad limerick.

Oh, I think I could pull that off, raven...the key AND the bad limerick. ;-)
Many thanks for your kind words and humor, my friend.

this is very well written, marillion, i enjoyed reading your version of cyrano, even though it would be terrible to do that to a friend, but what's a rogue to do....

Thanks very much, Darla, for taking so much time with my work today. I appreciate the great review(s).
Comment from Tatarka2
This was humorous, the rhyming works well with the rapid pace of the poem, and it not only remains true to the original work, but also brings the reader into the present as we see the poet reflecting on his role. Such a unique idea, and so well done. Congratulations!

Hi David, love the title of this and I wonder if you are still being hunted by the sisters?! It is a great emulation of the Cyrano story and a wry, funny read. Best wishes, Pete :)

Classic literature, well you are very well read. I just goggled this and will share; "My wit is more polished than your mustache. The truth which I speak strikes more sparks from men's hearts than your spurs do from the cobblestones."
