A few good peoms:
Mr. Flood's Party - by Edwin Arlington Robinson The Eve of St. Agnes - by John Keats The Mill - by Edwin Arlington Robinson Octaves - by Edwin Arlington Robinson I Have a Rendezvous with Death - by Alan Seeger The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam - Fifth Edition Translation by Edward Fitzgerald type any of these into www.google.com search engine, and you can read them online. I enjoyed them all. The Eve of St. Agnes is my favorite though. It is 378 lines long, and is in perfect rhyme. It is also a nice mushy love poem. *sighs* :D |
The City of Dreadful night
This is one of my favorite poems, by James Thompson
Link: http://emotionalliteracyeducation.co...ne/ctdnt10.htm The City is of Night; perchance of Death But certainly of Night; for never there Can come the lucid morning's fragrant breath After the dewy dawning's cold grey air: The moon and stars may shine with scorn or pity 5 The sun has never visited that city, For it dissolveth in the daylight fair. Dissolveth like a dream of night away; Though present in distempered gloom of thought And deadly weariness of heart all day. 10 But when a dream night after night is brought Throughout a week, and such weeks few or many Recur each year for several years, can any Discern that dream from real life in aught? For life is but a dream whose shapes return, 15 Some frequently, some seldom, some by night And some by day, some night and day: we learn, The while all change and many vanish quite, In their recurrence with recurrent changes A certain seeming order; where this ranges 20 We count things real; such is memory's might. This is only an excerpt, as the poem itself is about 30 pages long. As for the narrow-minded stink nugget that thinks "Correction: Shakespeare *does what a vaccum cleaner does* ", I think when you reach the now-far off age of twelve, you will reach a state of much higher emotional maturity that your present state. The possibility of this happening is nil, though, as the "Toy's R Us Kid" song comes to mind at the slightest recollection of your infantile post. How inconsiderate of me. You must not be able to comprehend some of the two syllable words I have been saying. Here: I'l make it easier for you: "You smeel like poopie." thank you |
