These links lead to several great poems. I've presented them for
your critical reading pleasure. That is, so that you can
have the pleasure of both reading these poems and then commenting
on them.

These poems are by Rudyward Kipling:

A Code of Morals is a rather humorous poem. I wonder if this General
existed? I read this poem after a friend told me about it.

A General Summary is about political corruption or getting ahead. I'd
like to think we've improved over this since it was writtern but I
suspect that our politicians haven't...

This is a poem I've related to the most of any poems I've ever read.
I read Hymn of the Breaking Strain during a bad period in my life;
the poems really speaks towards the end!
