JIM BENNETT
Camping with Whitman			

	in the day
	jackdaws and swallows
	flag across the sky
	
	the sun bleaches
	clouds transparent white
	and among the mountains
	trees seem
	just a moment in time
	while we are lost to it
	completely
	
	here in a wilderness
	of our own making
	as night approaches
	we lie close to the ground
	listen to the drumming
	of the wind
	watch the flight
	of bats and moths
	
	I read from Whitman
	and remember
	this is where I first heard his voice
	trapped on paper
	but set free by the wind
	accompanied by
	clicks and croaks
	of life calling
	from the wood and weeds
	
	it's always here
	spoken or unspoken
	a poetry that shapes lives
	and landscapes

SHARON WHITE
The Comparative Essay

Comparative essay writing requires you to draw comparisons. Comparing important facts can be helpful in research writing, which is why Comparative essay writing is an important exercise for tasks that you will be assigned at school. Most students find this form of essay writing helpful and easy too. Others do face difficulty, and this is because you need to adopt a measured approach for this form of writing.

For writing a Comparative essay, some students are known to go for professional help that is available online. While some my place orders to have their essays written from a professional writing company, others may choose to take tips from other online sources. You can write your Comparative essay by making use of online tips if you are willing to work hard and study the important points provided by different websites.

Comparative essay writing generally demands two approaches. Let's assume there are two poems to compare. One method of comparing the two poems would be to first of all present one poem at a time. After doing this, your Comparative essay can draw a comparison of the key points of both poems.

Your second approach to comparing the two poems in your Comparative essay will be a little different. In this approach, you will introduce both poems together and compare them as you progress through your Comparative essay. Instead of introducing and describing each poem separately, you will describe and compare them together.

In your Comparative essay, both these approaches have their advantages. Both approaches can be equally effective, depending on your skills. Some people may be able to use one approach better than the other. For this reason, you will find writers who will only compare a topic with one particular approach for a Comparative essay.

Comparing two poems according to the first approach in a Comparative essay can be advantageous. However, it may not be easy to carry out this approach when you have to deal with 3 or more poems. You would rather introduce each of your 3 or 4 poems separately, describe them separately, and then proceed to analyzing and comparing them all.

While your emphasis in a Comparative essay is based in the main body of your essay, your introduction and conclusion are important too. For the sake of maintaining simplicity in your Comparative essay, it is wise to keep your introduction as short as possible. You could introduce your objective for comparison and state which topics you are going to compare. If there is any main claim or point to make, you should do it towards the end of your introduction. This will serve as your thesis statement, which will be recalled or re-stated in the conclusion.

In your Comparative essay conclusion, you will first sum up the main points from your comparison. Perhaps, you can state the characteristics of each poem or subject and present similarities and differences of each one with the others. After doing this, you will be able to re-state your thesis statement from the introduction of your Comparative essay. At this point, you will also know whether or not you need to make any modification to the thesis statement.

BESS KEMP
Another Passing Thought			

I miss her easy smile
and the laugh
that accompanied it.
I wonder
if the last
time she laughed
the sound
traveled out
into the night
air
and was
carried away
like the last
wispy puff
of a dandelion
born on the
wind?
Did it go out
into space
where it still
echoes among
stars?
That is how
I like to
picture it
going on
forever
like my
memories
of her
