by William Carlos WilliamsSo much dependsupona red wheel barrowglazed with rainwaterbeside the whitechickens What I’d Cook My Teacher for Lunch by Bruce LanskyIf I’d serve hot lunch to my teacherI’d start off with rattlesnake stewThen I’d serve her a centipede saladAnd a tall glass of milk mixed with glueNext, a seaweed and jellyfish sandwichand a large piece of poohberry pieWhen my teacher finds out what she’s eatenI hope the old bat doesn’t die Do You Fear the Wind by Hamlin GarlandDo you fear the force of the wind,The slash of the rain?Go face them and fight them,Be savage again.Go hungry and cold like the wolf,Go wade like the crane:The palms of your hands will thicken,The skin of your cheek will tan,You’ll grow ragged and weary and swarthy,But you’ll walk like a man! One Guess by Robert FrostHe has dust in his eyes and a fan for a wing,A leg akimbo with which he can sing,And a mouthful of dyestuff instead of a sting. The Road Not Taken
By Robert FrostTwo Roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry that I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference I’m Nobody! Who Are You? by Emily DickensonI’m nobody! Who are you?Are you nobody, too?Then there’s a pair of us – don’t tell!They’d banish us, you know.How dreary to be somebody!How public, like a frog.To tell your name the livelong dayTo be an admiring bog! The Desired Swan Song by Samuel Taylor ColeridgeSwans sing before they die – ‘twere no bad thingShould certain persons die before they sing. |
