Can you guys please share your favorite Poems. Here are 2 of mine. Some say the world will end in fire, Some say in ice. From what I've tasted of desire I hold with those who favor fire. But if it had to perish twice, I think I know enough of hate To say that for destruction ice Is also great And would suffice. 2nd one - This is truly amazing piece of art. I have read it over few thousand times. BECAUSE I could not stop for Death, He kindly stopped for me; The carriage held but just ourselves And Immortality. We slowly drove, he knew no haste, And I had put away My labor, and my leisure too, For his civility. We passed the school where children played At wrestling in a ring; We passed the fields of gazing grain, We passed the setting sun. We paused before a house that seemed A swelling of the ground; The roof was scarcely visible, The cornice but a mound. Since then ’t is centuries; but each Feels shorter than the day I first surmised the horses’ heads Were toward eternity. Now share yours. Thanks
My contribution: There was an old scammer called Joe, Who kept stealing everyone's doe, One day he got banned, Just like we all planned, That's the end of the thieving hoe.
I did. It's all my own work. I'm quite creative when I set my mind to it! I believe it's what they call a 'limerick' in the trade.
"A word" by Emily Dickinson A word is dead When it is said Some say. I say it just Begins to live That day. ....... I love this poem because it was the first I had memorized and of its great message!
"There once was a man from Nantucket..." --- I'd prefer to drink than sit quietly and read poetry. But that's probably pretty obvious.
Although I am not good at writing poems, I just want to share this couplet The first time I sang in the church choir, two hundred people changed their religion - Fred Allen Whenever I attempt to write a poem or sing a song, I was haunted by Fred Allen's lines
I was going to come along and post something dull like roses are red. You cracked me up though CB. Was the poem in reference to a particular DP member?
SCAMMERS ARE TRUSTED, PEOPLE'S PATIENCE IS TESTED, LOTS OF THREADS ARE WASTED, AND NEWBI'S SAY "PM ME! I AM INTERESTED" how about that????
I love it when we can talk literature and poetry on DP. Here is one of Dickinson's that I adore: I taste a liquor never brewed, From tankards scooped in pearl; Not all the vats upon the Rhine Yield such an alcohol! Inebriate of air am I, And debauchee of dew, Reeling, through endless summer days, From inns of molten blue. When the landlord turn the drunken bee Out of the foxglove's door, When butterflies renounce their drams, I shall but drink the more! Till seraphs swing their snowy hats, And saints to windows run, To see the little tippler Leaning against the sun! **** Plus I really like Whitman's Song of Myself
There once was a man that scammed He'd even steal cash from your hand The day he got sussed Couldn't see him for dust Now the thieving twat is banned CountryBoy bows.
ROFL I'd love to know who you're talking about. Did you have a bad experience with him? Whats your name BTW?
Wahhhhh - you think I'm going to tell you that when you're eagerly working on a limerick for me?! Do a search and you'll find it. I have mentioned it before.
My all time favourite and very meaningful is Nothing Gold Can Stay Nature's first green is gold, Her hardest hue to hold. Her early leaf's a flower; But only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf. So Eden sank to grief, So dawn goes down to day. Nothing gold can stay. -- Robert Frost
