Thread: Today's poet

    Re: Today's poet

    hi all, some great poems posted in past 24hours...i am exhausted today hence the low profile...bit of a shabby effort today in gibside fruit bowl this morn but i did meet a forumite who was even more lovely in person than on this here thread which made it worth all the effort!!!!....one children's party later including musical statues and the anihilation of a panita by 8 sugar high six year olds and I am just about a gonner!....but not to done in to post a poem that i really like...it is dark but brilliant....(hope to post some haiku tomorrow when i have had some rest!)

    O rose, thou art sick!
    The invisible worm
    That flies in the night,
    In the howling storm,

    Has found out thy bed
    Of crimson joy:
    And his dark secret love
    Does thy life destroy.

    Off the pike with a single bound,
    Think like Kenny descend fast,
    You will be the one.

    She gobbled it down and ran away
    Love it!

    It was your choice of poem, with Freckle's comment of "Sweeeeeet" that set me off!

    Jelly Babies, hope you never grow old,
    Cos then you'll be Jellyatrics,
    Then again there's always Haribo

    A haiku by Gyotai perfect for today's inclement weather.

    Fallen leaves
    fall on each other -
    rain beats on rain
