Poem by me:
Stardu...poems? hang on, lemme think.<br /><br /><br />Poem by me:<br /><br />Stardust, Hope and Longnecks<br />for LD<br /><br />"I just read, to a friend today, <br />a poem about dust on the moon.<br />Funny thing is, and he'd even say,<br />a particle of that is in my room!<br /><br />No, really. Believe me, i'm not lying.<br />The fodder of astronauts' is here, and beer!<br />Right here, by the wine bottle and the dead pipe,<br />in the basement where he showed no fear."chicago dykehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16679908774337228752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9085926.post-69901038965864619002010-01-30T11:23:49.868-05:002010-01-30T11:23:49.868-05:00My personal favorites are the Metaphysical poets l...My personal favorites are the Metaphysical poets like John Donne -- not his stuffy odes or speeches to God -- but his rolicking odes to Love.

Did you know that a movie is planned around his life? <br /><br />Jan at Rosemary CottageTeacatshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06899566893360863672noreply@blogger.com
