Poetry and stuff...

[druffine]

K, flist , I need your help.

I want to get to know some poetry and the likes but I have no idea where to start with that, I mean I don't even know the children's rhymes and such...

So please, if you have a moment, paste me your favorite poem or one you think I should know into a comment and maybe a few words about it.

Thanks very much.

Oh and finally... it's over.

I Remember, by Stevie Smith


It was my bridal night I remember,
An old man of seventy-three
I lay with my young bride in my arms,
A girl with t.b.
It was wartime, and overhead
The Germans were making a particularly heavy raid on
Hampstead.
What rendered the confusion worse, perversely
Our bombers had chosen that moment to set out for Germany.
Harry, do they ever collide?
I do not think it has ever happened,
Oh my bride, my bride.

Hm.. I am not quite sure what to say to this. Odd does fit though.
