    I need a poem

    I need a poem for english class, preferably of a famous poet (no original works, please).
    Any short poems that you could recommend (30-120 seconds to read)?

    I was thinking William Wordsworth, I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud

    RE: I need a poem

    Use "A Dust of Snow" by Robert Frost.

    You'll have to say it really slowly. It's about 4 lines.

    I think it goes something like:

    The way a crow shook down on me
    A dust of snow from a hemlock tree
    Has given my heart a change of mood
    And saved a part of a day I rued.


    I last heard that 2 years ago. :P

    Signature subject to change.

    THE ZERRRRRG.

        I was also thinking Casey up to Bat, but it might be a bit long.

          "The Hollow Men" by T.S. Eliot.

          Also, if you'd like I'll throw in the essay I wrote about it if you need to discuss it or some jazz like that. It's mostly BS, but I got a good grade on it. The poem is actually relatively boring...but eh.

            Here we go round the prickly pear
            The prickly pear the prickly pear
            Here we go round the prickly pear
            At five o' clock in the morning

            ---

            And that's all I gotta say about "The Hollow Men"

            We heard a recording of Eliot reading the poem in English... it was hilarious at that part.

                w00t for shakespeare's 63rd sonnet:

                Against my love shall be as I am now,
                With Time's injurious hand crush'd and o'erworn;
                When hours have drain'd his blood and fill'd his brow
                With lines and wrinkles; when his youthful morn
                Hath travell'd on to age's steepy night;
                And all those beauties whereof now he's king
                Are vanishing, or vanished out of sight,
                Stealing away the treasure of his spring;
                For such a time do I now fortify
                Against confounding age's cruel knife,
                That he shall never cut from memory
                My sweet love's beauty, though my lover's life:
                His beauty shall in these black lines be seen,
                And they shall live, and he in them still green.

                Also heavily analyzable, I wrote an essay about this one.
                How has it been 15 years

                  Out of the bed
                  And onto the floor
                  A 50-yard dash
                  To the bathroom door

                  -thanks, Rob.

                    RE: I need a poem

                    life knocked me off my platforms
                    so I pulled out my first pair of boots
                    bought on the street at Astor Place
                    before New York was run by suits
                    And I suited up for the long walk
                    back to myself
                    closer to the ground now
                    with sorrow
                    and stealth
                    --Ani Difranco
                    again, just kidding....but hey, I felt like it. She is great
