Thankyou Hansa, I started reading Akhmatova a little while ago. And I like her very much. The piece you have posted is very good. I enjoyed reading it. You say you like my piece because of its anger...hmmm.Incidentally I think it is one of my milder pieces. I wonder what you will think of the following one... ;-)))
DEAREST FRIEND You have such soft and sheepy skin, To cover your wolfy teethy grin; That I couldn't have known otherwise, To look beyond your clever guise; Had you not so thankfully, Bit me! you ugly, sick bully!
