This is poetry???
Mirror mirror tell me
Am I pretty or plain?
Or am I downright ugly,
And ugly to remain?
Shall I marry a gentleman?
Shall I marry a clown?
Or shall I marry
Old Knives and Scissors
Shouting through the town?
No folks I have not been hittin the hard liquor this is a poem called The Mirror; by Robert Graves. I found this old poetry book my sister gave me a long time ago, and sat down to read alittle of it last night while the hub was at work. Could not beleive some of this stuff was actually published.
This is one by Emily Dickinson I thought was pretty good though.
Heart, we will forget him
Heart, we will forget him,
You and I, tonight!
You must forget the warmth he gave,
I will forget the light.
When you have done pray tell me,
Then I, my thoughts, will dim.
Haste! `lest while you're lagging
I may remember him!

I like the Emily Dickinson poem...
I have always liked her work she had such a sad heart. And she knew exactly how to put her sorrow and to words.
