    Re: Today's poet

    And so to bed for me too but not before I try and finish this bit of work I started before I got sidetracked here!

    Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening

    Whose woods these are I think I know.
    His house is in the village, though;
    He will not see me stopping here
    To watch his woods fill up with snow.
    My little horse must think it queer
    To stop without a farmhouse near
    Between the woods and frozen lake
    The darkest evening of the year.

    He gives his harness bells a shake
    To ask if there's some mistake.
    The only other sound's the sweep
    Of easy wind and downy flake.

    The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
    But I have promises to keep,
    And miles to go before I sleep,
    And miles to go before I sleep.

    Robert Frost

    I am here all alone with Pablo....

    When I cannot look at your face
    I look at your feet.
    Your feet of arched bone,
    your hard little feet.
    I know that they support you,
    and that your sweet weight
    rises upon them.
    Your waist and your breasts,
    the doubled purple
    of your nipples,
    the sockets of your eyes
    that have just flown away,
    your wide fruit mouth,
    your red tresses,
    my little tower.
    But I love your feet
    only because they walked
    upon the earth and upon
    the wind and upon the waters,
    until they found me.

    Pablo Neruda </B>

    An inspired start as it does seem to have filled a bit of a niche on the forum.

    I think we all enjoy just reading at times, so nice to have you lurking.

    That's great Freckle, sorry, La Chasconsa.

    An artistic drunken brainstorm. I can see it now. It would be chaos!

    Re: Today's poet

    I'd much rather go to work on a horse this morning than belt there in the car.

    Love Robert Frost as ever.

    Have a good day everyone.

    Evening all.....hope you have had a lovely day...

    Cornflakes

    Cornflakes are nice
    Cornflakes are tasty
    Cornflakes should NOT
    be devoured too hasty!

    Cornflakes are like
    hundreds of inee weeny hugs
    or a roll around
    on a big furry rug.

    So I hope you enjoyed
    your cornflakes my dear
    one day I shall feed you them
    whilst nibbling your ear!
