asos Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Sending the Season's greetings for a Happy New Year 2019 with a poem by Gary Snyder, an American poet: PINE TREE TOPS in the blue night frost haze, the sky glows with the moon pine tree tops bend snow-blue, fade into sky, frost, starlight. the creak of boots. rabbit track, deer tracks, what do we know. Poem by Gary Snyder from his book TURTLE ISLAND (Pulitzer Prize for Poetry, 1975) Let me add that the poem is a pure lyric, meaning that every word (except articles and prepositions) is something you can see, hear, and understand--in other words, they all have sound, meaning, and image content. The last line shows the mystification of man when he is confronted with the immensity of the universe. Here is a second pure Lyric by Sappho from Lesbos, an ancient Greek lyric poetess: The moon is full and I sleep alone. by Sappho the Lesbian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRJ_simpilot Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 My Fav would have to be The Raven by Edgar Alan Poe. And I was tickled something awful upon seeing it depicted in an episode of The Simpsons. I think I shall retreat to my dans la chambre. Where I shall rap on my keyboard. How's my French? OOM errors? Read this. What the squawk? An awesome weather website with oodles of Info. and options. Wile E. Coyote would be impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
