Hi! Please leave the title of your
favorite poem or a poem that has
always haunted you. A line or two
about the poem is welcome, when and
if you feel like telling us what
about this poem pops off the top
of your head.

Moet with Medusa said...

And Death Shall Have No Dominion, Dylan Thomas.

And death shall have no dominion. Under the windings of the sea. They lying long shall not die windily.

Cynthia said...

Thank you, Moet with Medusa.
Love this poem, as deep as the sea.

Pouting Bear said...

As there are two of us, we hope you don't mind us adding a couple.

Anti-Christ and Barcodes, David Tibet
Lesbos, Sylvia Plath

The alliteration in the former has a way of repeating on one's brain, quite like peppers.
As for the latter, the spitting sentences are magnificent. Also, it contains the word 'anemone'.

Pouting Bear couple. With a pen
like pouting bear it is clear you
two are in love with words.

Thank you a bunch of roses for
supplying the link to each poem!

Plath continues to spin my eager
poet's mind. Ant-Christ and Barcodes is a new poem for me-
thanks for that also.


Joy to you both!

Cynthia said...

I shall attempt to do likewise as
the team Pouting Bear did and leave a link to The Dream.

I love this poem because it seems the mighty being doesn't desire your fear, he desires some sign of
your love.

Sex Without Love - Sharon Olds.

"light rising slowly as steam off
their joined skin"

Ms. Olds, drapes elegant, sexy,
sentences around her original
question.
