BOOM! Gotcha <3

Continuing on from my last post. My next topic is the poems that I have recently been encountering, so I'll put a couple of my favourites in here :D (sit back a read!!)

Where the Bee Sucks

Where the bee sucks, there suck I,

In a cowslip's bell I lie,

There I couch when owls do cry.

On the bat's back I do fly

After summer merrily.

Merrily, merrily shalt I live now

Under the blossom that hangs on the bough.

~

William Shakespeare.

ACS (dunno what that is, I abbrev. D:) -excerpt

Golden slumbers kiss your eyes,

Smiles awake you when you rise.

Sleep, pretty wantons, don not sry,

And I will sing a lullaby:

Rock them, rock them, lullaby

...

~

Thomas Dekker

~

He Wishes For the Cloths of Heaven

Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,

Enwrought with golden and silver light,

The blue and the dim and the dark cloths

of night and light and the half-light.

I would spread the cloths under your feet;

But I, being poor, have only my dreams;

I have spread my dreams under your feet;

Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

~

W.B. Yeats

Reflection on Ice-Breaking

Candy

Is Dandy

But Liquor

Is quicker.

A Slice of Wedding Cake (exerpt)

...

Has God's supply of tolerable husbands

Fallen, in fact, so low?

Or do I always over-value women

At the expense of men?

Do I?

It might be so.

~

Robert Graves

My Own Epitaph

Life is a jest; and all things show it,

I thought so once; but now I know it.

John Gay

This is just to Say

I have eaten

the plums

that were in

the ice box

and which

you were probabaly

saving

for breakfast

~

Forgive me

they were delicious

so sweet

and so cold.

~

William Carlos Williams.

Resume

Razors pain you;

Rivers are damp;

Acids stain;

And drugs cause cramp.

Guns aren't lawful;

Nooses give;

Gas smells awful;

You might as well live.

~

Dorothy Parker

A Word

A word is dead

When it is said,

Some say.

I say it just

begins to live

that day.

Emily Dickinson

Wasn't that lovely? XD

I particularly like them anyway, especially 'He Wishes For the Cloths of Heaven' and 'This is Just to Say'. Both of them are so cute and, well almost quiet in their sheer beauty...if that makes sense O____o.
