Anteater

By ~ Shel Silverstein

"A genuine anteater,"
The pet man told me dad.
Turned out, it was an aunt eater,
And now my uncle's mad!

Rain

| |

By ~ Shel Silverstein

I opened my eyes
And looked up at the rain,
And it dripped in my head
And flowed into my brain,
And all that I hear as I lie in my bed
Is the slishity-slosh of the rain in my head.

I step very softly,
I walk very slow,
I can't do a handstand--
I might overflow,
So pardon the wild crazy thing I just said--
I'm just not the same since there's rain in my head.

One Inch Tall

| |

By ~ Shel Silverstein

If you were only one inch tall, you'd ride a worm to school.
The teardrop of a crying ant would be your swimming pool.
A crumb of cake would be a feast
And last you seven days at least,
A flea would be a frightening beast
If you were one inch tall.

If you were only one inch tall, you'd walk beneath the door,
And it would take about a month to get down to the store.
A bit of fluff would be your bed,
You'd swing upon a spider's thread,
And wear a thimble on your head
If you were one inch tall.

You'd surf across the kitchen sink upon a stick of gum.
You couldn't hug your mama, you'd just have to hug her thumb.
You'd run from people's feet in fright,
To move a pen would take all night

God's Wheel

| |

By ~ Shel Silverstein

GOD says to me with a kind
of smile, "Hey how would you like
to be God awhile And steer the world?"
"Okay," says I, "I'll give it a try.

Where do I set?
How much do I get?
What time is lunch?
When can I quit?"

"Gimme back that wheel," says GOD.
"I don't think you're quite ready YET."

I'll tell you the story of Cloony the Clown

| |

By ~ Shel Silverstein

"I'll tell you the story of Cloony the Clown
Who worked in a circus that came through town.
His shoes were too big and his hat was too small,
But he just wasn't, just wasn't funny at all.
He had a trombone to play loud silly tunes,
He had a green dog and a thousand balloons.
He was floppy and sloppy and skinny and tall,
But he just wasn't, just wasn't funny at all..."

Waiting for the fish to bit

| |

By ~ Dr. Seuss

Waiting for the fish to bit
Or waiting for wind to fly a kite.
Or waiting around for Friday night
Or waiting perhaps for their UncleJake
Or a pot to boil or a better break
Or a string of pearls or a pair of pants
Or a wig with curls or another chance.
Everyone is just waiting.

You have brains in your head

By ~ Dr. Seuss

You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself in any direction you choose.
You're on your own.
And you know what you know.
You are the guy who'll decide where to go.

How did it get so late so soon?
It's night before it's afternoon.
December is here before it's June.
My goodness how the time has flewn.
How did it get so late so soon?

Do not stand at my grave and weep

| |

Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.

Ephemera

| |

Before us lies eternity; our souls
Are love, and a continual farewell.

Perhaps this passage from Psalm 85:

Love and fidelity have come together; justice and peace join hands.
Fidelity springs up from the earth and justice looks down from heaven.

These words of Jesus from the beatitudes are for you;
"How blest are those who show mercy;
mercy will be shown to them."

Song My Mother Taught Me

| |

By ~ Michael Druck 2008

I never thought I would hear my mother sing again,
yet I heard her in a dream,

as she sang an old Yiddish song,
lovely and serene.

I heard this old Yiddish song
about a time so long ago,
that I, a man, would never see,
or I would never know
about the olden days,
when all they had was love.

That gift from G-d, from up above
and the sharing of that love.

And I sobbed and cried in my dream
as I saw her eyes and tears,
then awakened to find that mine were dry,
as if time has dried the years.

I never thought I would hear her sing again,
much less, a song I never knew.
The tune is gone and escapes me now.

It is as ancient as the Jew.

But if I have my way,
with a blessing from Hashem,
I’ll sit and sing that melody
and have my mother once again.

A Jewish song, an ancient song,
and a time yet back again.

ON DEATH

| |

By ~ Kahlil Gibran, from The Prophet

You would know the secret of death.
But how shall you find it unless you seek it in the heart of life?
The owl whose night-bound eyes are blind unto the day
cannot unveil the mystery of light.
If you would indeed behold the spirit of death,
open your heart wide unto the body of life.
For life and death are one,
even as the river and the sea are one.
In the depth of your hopes and desires
lies your silent knowledge of the beyond;
And like the seeds dreaming beneath the snow
your heart dreams of spring.
Trust the dreams,
for in them is hidden the gate to eternity.
Your fear of death is but the trembling of the shepherd
when he stands before the king whose hand
is to be laid upon him in honour.
Is the shepherd not joyful beneath his trembling,
that he shall wear the mark of the king?
Yet is he not more mindful of his trembling?
For what is it to die but to stand naked in the wind
and to melt into the sun?
And what is it to cease breathing,
but to free the breath from its restless tides,
that it may rise and expand and seek God unencumbered?
Only when you drink from the river of silence
shall you indeed sing.
And when you have reached the mountain top,
then you shall begin to climb.
And when the earth shall claim your limbs,
then shall you truly dance.

Silver

| |

Slowly, silently, now the moon
Walks the night in her silver shoon;
This way, and that, she peers, and sees
Silver fruit upon silver trees;
One by one the casements catch
Her beams beneath the silvery thatch;
Couched in his kennel, like a log,
With paws of silver sleeps the dog;
From their shadowy cote the white breasts peep
Of doves in silver feathered sleep
A harvest mouse goes scampering by,
With silver claws, and silver eye;
And moveless fish in the water gleam,
By silver reeds in a silver stream.

A Song of Enchantment
A song of Enchantment I sang me there,
In a green-green wood, by waters fair,
Just as the words came up to me
I sang it under the wild wood tree.

Widdershins turned I, singing it low,
Watching the wild birds come and go;
No cloud in the deep dark blue to be seen
Under the thick-thatched branches green.

Twilight came: silence came:
The planet of Evening's silver flame;
By darkening paths I wandered through
Thickets trembling with drops of dew.

But the music is lost and the words are gone
Of the song I sang as I sat alone,
Ages and ages have fallen on me -
On the wood and the pool and the elder tree.

Ever, Ever
Ever ever stir and shiver
Reeds and rushes by a river
Ever ever as if a dream
The moon's shine of silver sleaks the stream
What gone sorrow, what lost love
The moon, reeds, rushes, dream you of?

Sunset and evening star

| |

By ~ Alfred Lord Tennyson

And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar,
When I put out to sea,
But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from out the boundless deep
Turns again home.

Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell,
When I embark;
For tho' from out our bourne of Time and Place
The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crost the bar.

Crossing the Bar,

Hug O' War

By ~ Shel Silverstein

Hug O' War
I will not play at tug o' war
I'd rather play at hug o' war
Where everyone hugs,
Instead of tugs,
Where everyone giggles
And rolls on the rug,
Where everyone kisses,
And everyone grins,
And everyone cuddles,
And everyone wins.

Why Poems Can Sustain Such Attraction Throughout The Time

| Tuesday, December 6, 2011 |

In olden times, lovers would compose poems for their loved ones to express their love for each other.

Today lethargic lovers simply pen down their feelings for each other, not even bothering to use good language, let alone poetry. Their absence today makes exclusive love poems become rare to find, and even boot its popularity a lot. These rhymes that became popular in the 7th century continue to glitter our world even today. But hardly anyone knows the reason why they can sustain such attraction throughout the time. You may not know also, but it’s until you finished reading this article.


One of the most apparent factors why everyone loves when songs are published for them is, composition demands an excess attempt as opposed to thoughts just wrote down. So it creates them experience more particular. It continues to be in the brain and can't be overlooked quickly. It is simple to basically say what an individual method for you, but when you have to organize thoughts in such a way that they rhyme audio attractive to the hearing and also add up, it demands an added exclusive attempt. You wouldn't do it for anyone, unless that individual recommended something. Not everyone can handle to both rhymes as well as add up in the same stanza. Not everyone is a blessed poet.

Poetry appears to be wonderful even when it is basically judgments. Even when you are saying something really tough, it appears to be with really like in composition type. For the first few mere a few moments an individual will simple be dazzled by the way it was, before he knows that it unpleasant. We have documents, content, messages and so on, which start and end with a composition. If published well, it gives a fresh kickoff to any type of create up. Even a two range composition talks so much. It can actually sum up what the whole document is about. It also appears to be excellent when used at the end. It does any type of composing. Hence authors use songs for their own benefits.


The City in the Sea ~ By Edgar Allan Poe(1809-1849)

popular poetry 2

Lo! Death has reared himself a throne

In a strange city lying alone
Far down within the dim West,
Where the good and the bad and the worst and the best
Have gone to their eternal rest.
There shrines and palaces and towers
(Time-eaten towers that tremble not!)
Resemble nothing that is ours.
Around, by lifting winds forgot,
Resignedly beneath the sky
The melancholy waters lie.

No rays from the holy heaven come down
On the long night-time of that town;
But light from out the lurid sea
Streams up the turrets silently —
Gleams up the pinnacles far and free —
Up domes — up spires — up kingly halls —
Up fanes — up Babylon-like walls —
Up shadowy long-forgotten bowers
Of sculptured ivy and stone flowers —
Up many and many a marvelous shrine
Whose wreathéd friezes intertwine
The viol, the violet, and the vine.
So blend the turrets and shadows there
That all seem pendulous in the air,
While from a proud tower in the town
Death looks gigantically down.

There open fanes and gaping graves
Yawn level with the luminous waves;
But not the riches there that lie
In each idol's diamond eye —
Not the gaily-jeweled dead
Tempt the waters from their bed;
For no ripples curl, alas!
Along that wilderness of glass —
No swellings tell that winds may be
Upon some far-off happier sea —
No heavings hint that winds have been
On seas less hideously serene.

But lo, a stir is in the air!
The wave — there is a movement there!
As if the towers had thrust aside,
In slightly sinking, the dull tide —
As if their tops had feebly given
A void within the filmy Heaven.
The waves have now a redder glow —
The hours are breathing faint and low —
And when, amid no earthly moans,
Down, down that town shall settle hence,
Hell, rising from a thousand thrones,
Shall do it reverence.


A Light in the Attic ~ by Shel Silverstein

popular poetry 1

Last night while I lay thinking here
Some Whatifs crawled inside my ear
And pranced and partied all night long
And sang their same old Whatif song:

Whatif I flunk that test?
Whatif green hair grows on my chest?
Whatif nobody likes me?
Whatif a bolt of lightning strikes me?...
