I Am Has Been Will Be

RickthePoetWarrior

Me Oedipus Macbeth

Me Alice in Wonderland marry The Ancient Mariner

Me have Great Expectations for Les Misérables

Me Hobbit in Gormenghast

Me double plus ungood “don't panic”

Me Atlas Shrugged, The Edible Woman

I wandered lonely as a cloud

I wander through each chartered street

Whose woods these are, I think I know

I caught a tremendous fish

I heard a fly buzz———when I died

To the virgins to make much of time

what happens to a dream deferred

Oh, but it is dirty!

The Yellow Wallpaper”

A Hunger Artist”

A Worn Path”

A&P

DO NOT GO GENTLE INTO THAT GOOD NIGHT

My friend, you would not tell with such high zest to children ardent for some desperate glory the old lie: Dulce et decorum est Pro patria mori.

    lol, a wonderful game
    of name that famous line, but
    I imagine in the context of your book
    this will have a more solidified meaning
    as you're exemplifying, while sampling
    some of the most beloved works
    in western literature's overflowing, Poetic's cannon..
    a fun read, but I fear
    you gave yourself a 'complex'
    by starting
    with that brilliant, cocktail
    of a first line.. lol
    personally I got real excited
    when you included
    the criminally underrated 'Elizabeth Bishop'
    those cascading stanzas, from that poem
    are one of the very best, to have ever been penned
    (in my humble opinion)
    thanks for sharing, a great poetic treat!
    'Do they live in the station?
    It has a cement porch
    behind the pumps, and on it
    a set of crushed and grease-
    impregnated wickerwork;
    on the wicker sofa
    a dirty dog, quite comfy.

    Some comic books provide
    the only note of color--
    of certain color. They lie
    upon a big dim doily
    draping a taboret
    (part of the set), beside
    a big hirsute begonia.

    Why the extraneous plant?
    Why the taboret?
    Why, oh why, the doily?
    (Embroidered in daisy stitch
    with marguerites, I think,
    and heavy with gray crochet.)

    Somebody embroidered the doily.
    Somebody waters the plant,
    or oils it, maybe. Somebody
    arranges the rows of cans
    so that they softly say:
    ESSO--SO--SO--SO

    to high-strung automobiles.
    Somebody loves us all.''
