Classic poem of the day
This life--one was thinking to-day,
In the midst of a medley of fancies -
Is a game, and the board where we play
Green earth with her poppies and pansies.
Let manque be faded romances,
Be passe remorse and regret;
Hearts dance with the wheel as it dances -
The wheel of Dame Fortune's roulette.
The lover will stake as he may
His heart on his Peggies and Nancies;
The girl has her beauty to lay;
The saint has his prayers and his trances;......
Member poem of the day
hot summer sun piercing
shining so brightly down
all things revealing
to the watching eye
young boys are walking
in the city big
like tourists gawking
at all the sights there is
from the small towns coming
out in the country side
visiting the city
and all the things they'll find
approaching in the distance
a vision not believed
they can't not be seeing
what they seem to see
tan mist...
