    WOW! Love it!

    :thumbup: that made me laugh a lot Hanneke. I've just spent the last twenty minutes trying to write a poem that encapsulates my excitement that spring is here and failed miserably. This says it all!

    Plastic Rose.

    Crowds of suitors block your way,
    With their multitude of gifts and flowers,
    I sit in the corner you can't hear what i say,
    You look but don't see me i've been there hours.

    They carry on with their floral tributes,
    I've been there decades i wonder if she knows,
    Old and fat i still can't send the band with flutes,
    All i have as always is my plastic rose.

    nice work matt good to see you back!

    I am off to the "poetry slam" at the tyneside cinema tonight...apparently this lady is going to be on...

    Ravish your lover while you still love her
    Tanya Davis

    (this poem is) to my lovers who were once the suns in my skies: i am sorry that i never ravished you enough and that there is nothing to be done about the passing of time

    remember your lovers
    but, especially, don't forget them, while they are in your bedroom
    with their hair dishevelled and their clothes strewn
    make sure you notice them as they stand before you
    as there they lie
    tell them that you're touched a thousand times
    of every inch take a picture with your unabashed eye
    because this will change, as pictures fade, so love does die

    smell your lovers, their wide open skin
    like bare shoulders, before toast, in the morning
    pheremones will be what you don't know you miss
    when you're standing beside x's
    feeling suddenly nostalgic
    could be soap, could be freshly-washed clothes
    most likely its the mix of hidden chemicals
    the silent scent
    that perfumers will never get
    but you will remember it
    long after love goes

    hold your lovers close
    as you are drifting off, sharing oxygen and oxytocin both
    memorize the napes of their necks, the crooks of their wrists, the way their breathing rises and falls
    knees get cuddled only in one kind of spot
    and they will miss this once the spoon is gone
    like you will miss the puzzle when you don't get to be a part
    and, so, while you are
    with your limbs entangled in ways that warm your heart
    remember to notice it
    so that the last night doesn't go by without you noticing
    and suddenly it's over and only in the sunshine do you know these things
    while you pine for one more chance to lay with your loved one when night is falling
    so, hold your lovers close while you're in their company

    this is a plea, mostly for me, so i may remember next time i am a puzzle piece
    as well, for the lovers i have held and known
    who have been my comforts
    and also my abrasions
    i have daydreamed about the days when we were first mating
    and of the love we made then
    like we were scorched earth and it was raining

    Re: Today's poet

    And for those not keen on Spring or think April is the cruelest month

    Spring

    To what purpose, April, do you return again?
    Beauty is not enough.
    You can no longer quiet me with the redness
    Of little leaves opening stickily.
    I know what I know.
    The sun is hot on my neck as I observe
    The spikes of the crocus.
    The smell of the earth is good.
    It is apparent that there is no death.
    But what does that signify?
    Not only under ground are the brains of men
    Eaten by maggots.
    Life in itself
    Is nothing,
    An empty cup, a flight of uncarpeted stairs.
    It is not enough that yearly, down this hill,
    April
    Comes like an idiot, babbling and strewing flowers.

    Edna St. Vincent Millay
