    Default Poetry

    Do you have a favorite poet or poem? Or just one you want to share?

    I like this one.

    NIAGARA

    (Seen on a Night in November)

    How frail
    Above the bulk
    Of crashing water hangs,
    Autumnal, evanescent, wan,
    The moon.

    I have a two volume set of American poetry published by ... Modern Library? One of those hardback collectors things. I was going through it tonight and I was pleased to see so many selections from songwriters. W. C. Handy was in there!

    I hate to see that evening sun go down
    I hate to see that evening sun go down
    Cause my baby, he's gone left this town

    Feelin' tomorrow like I feel today
    If I'm feelin' tomorrow like I feel today
    I'll pack my truck and make my give-a-way

    St. Louis woman with her diamond ring
    Pulls that man around by her, if it wasn't for her and her
    That man I love would have gone nowhere, nowhere

    I got the St. Louis blues, blues as I can be
    That man's got a heart like a rock cast in the sea
    Or else he wouldn't have gone so far from me

    I love my baby like a school boy loves his pie
    Like a Kentucky colonel loves his mint 'n rye
    I love my man till the day I die
    Also a lot of Guthrie and blues singers. Don't know if Dylan was in there, I assume so.

    Tyger Tyger, burning bright,
    In the forests of the night;
    What immortal hand or eye,
    Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

    In what distant deeps or skies.
    Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
    On what wings dare he aspire?
    What the hand, dare seize the fire?

    And what shoulder, & what art,
    Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
    And when thy heart began to beat,
    What dread hand? & what dread feet?

    What the hammer? what the chain,
    In what furnace was thy brain?
    What the anvil? what dread grasp,
    Dare its deadly terrors clasp!

    When the stars threw down their spears
    And water'd heaven with their tears:
    Did he smile his work to see?
    Did he who made the Lamb make thee?

    Tyger Tyger burning bright,
    In the forests of the night:
    What immortal hand or eye,
    Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?

    It's a song, but it's one of my favorites.

    Lost and alone on some forgotten highway
    Traveled by many, remembered by few
    Looking for something that I can believe in
    Looking for something that I'd like to do with my life

    There's nothing behind me and
    Nothing that ties me to
    Something that might of been true yesterday
    Tomorrow is open
    Right now it seems to be more than enough
    To just be here today

    And I don't know what the future is holding in store
    I don't know where I'm going
    I'm not sure where I've been

    There's a spirit that guides me
    A light that shines for me
    My life is worth the living and
    I don't need to see the end

    Sweet, sweet surrender
    Live, live without care
    Like a fish, in the water
    Like a bird, in the air
