Ok this isnt my OWN poetry ( I only WISH it was lol ) .... some of my poetry is on my personal site , under 'Musings' if ya wanted to peek at it....
THIS , however , is something that made my heart warm and squishy-like when I heard it for the first time .....some of you may be familiar with it .....
He wishes for the cloths of heaven
Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly, because you tread on my dreams.
-- William Butler Yeats
I think , with a few poetic souls that appear to be on this site , that we need a lil thread for poetry .... sooooo guys & girls .... if you have any poetry of your own you wanna share with us .. ....feel free to post it here .. :sillysmi:
