The strong-built... (Read full poem)

Oh bear with me, for I am old
And count on fingers five
The years this pencil I may hold

Three bushmen one morning rode up to an inn,
And one of them called for the drinks with a grin;

Unquiet you walk
Along the rims of my eyes
On the invisible grating

I was six when I first saw kittens drown.
Dan Taggart pitched them, 'the scraggy wee shits',
Into a bucket; a frail metal sound,
Soft paws scraping like mad. But their tiny din
Was soon soused. They were slung on the snout
Of the pump and... (Read full poem)

Butter of amber, cream, and wine, and oil,
Shall run... (Read full poem)

Read 354 times on Poetry Connection.
Sadly I walk'd within the field,
To see what comfort it would yield;
And as I went my private way,
An olive-branch before me lay;
And seeing it, I made a stay,
And took it up, and view'd it; then
Kissing the omen, said Amen;
Be, be it so,... (Read full poem)

fully at ease in themselves, whose eyes

Jenny was my first sweetheart;
Poor lass! she was none too smart.

Girls should cozen all they can,
Use their wiles to get their... (Read full poem)

Amongst bubbling streams
a dog barks; peach blossom

bell enters this fastness
where blue mist rises
from bamboo groves;
down from a high... (Read full poem)

Twenty years hence my eyes may grow
If not quite dim, yet rather so,
Still yours from others they shall know
Twenty years hence.

In a cool cell where thunderclap

The silken emblem seems to lag;
Two hundred people watch it... (Read full poem)

When I thy singing next shall hear,
I'll wish I might turn all to ear,
To drink-in notes and numbers, such
As blessed souls can't hear too much
Then melted down, there let me lie
Entranced, and lost confusedly;
And by thy music strucken... (Read full poem)
19. John Skelton - written by Robert Graves
Read 562 times on Poetry Connection.
What could be dafter
Than John Skelton’s laughter?
What sound more tenderly
Than his pretty poetry?
So where to rank old Skelton?
He was no monstrous Milton,
Nor wrote no “Paradise Lost,”
So wondered at by most,
Phrased so... (Read full poem)

She's all my fancy painted him

And seen me here before;
But, in another character,
She was the same of yore.... (Read full poem)

Last year I called this world of gain-givings
The darkest thinkable, and questioned sadly
If my own land could heave its pulse less gladly,
So charged it seemed with circumstance whence springs
The tragedy of things.

Read 1136 times on Poetry Connection.
You said: "I'll go to another country, go to another shore,
find another city better than this one.

I wanted to be a heart.
A heart.

In the vivid morning
I wanted to be myself.

And nodding by the fire, take down this book,

Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;
How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty... (Read full poem)
