Poems

Sorry about not posting for a while. So much for the posting once a week thing. I guess I have been lacking inspiration...*thinks* Got it. Today I will share with you a couple of poems that I like. Tell me what you think of them.


        St. Patrick's Rune
At Tara in this fateful hour,
I place all Heaven with its power,
And the sun with its brightness,
And the snow with its whiteness,
And the fire with all the strength it hath,
And the lightning with its rapid wrath,
And the winds with their swiftness along their path,
And the sea with its deepness,
And the rocks with their steepness,
And the Earth with its starkness
All these I place
By God's almighty help and grace
Between myself and the powers of darkness!   

  

This Is Just To Say

 By William Carlos Williams 

I have eaten

the plums
that were in
the icebox

and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast

Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet

and so cold
