• Come to me, O ye children!
  For I hear you at your play,
  And the questions that perplexed me
  Have vanished quite away. #
• Ye open the eastern windows,
  That look towards the sun,
  Where thoughts are singing swallows
  And the brooks of morning run. #
• In your hearts are the birds and the sunshine,
  In your thoughts the brooklet's flow, #
• But in mine is the wind of Autumn
  And the first fall of the snow. #
• Ah! what would the world be to us
  If children were no more?
  We should dread the desert behind us
  Worse than the dark before. #
• What the leaves areto the forest,
  With lightand air for food,
  Ere their sweet and tender juices
  Have been hardened into wood, — #
• That to the world are children;
  Through them it feels the glow
  Of a brighter and sunnier climate
  Than reaches the trunks below. #
• Come to me, O ye children!
  And whisper in my ear
  What the birds and the winds are singing
  In your sunny atmosphere. #
• For what are all our contrivings,
  And the wisdom of out books,
  When compared with your caresses,
  And the gladness of your looks? #
• Ye are better than all the ballads
  That ever were sung or said;
  For ye are living poems,
  And all the rest are dead. #
• My nineteenth selection for National Poetry Month is Children by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. #

• Wife promised coffee. Again, another day of delayed caffine gratification. (@ Starbucks – Riverstone Marketplace) http://4sq.com/bMn0LT #
• It may be misery not to sing at all,
  And to go silent through the brimming day; #
• It may be misery never to be loved,
  But deeper griefs than these beset the way. #
• To sing the perfect song,
  And by a half-tone lost the key, #
• There the potent sorrow, there the grief,
  The pale, sad staring of Lufe's Tragedy. #
• To have come near to perfect love,
  Not the hot passion of untempered youth, #
• But that which lies aside its vanity,
  And gives, for thy trusting worship, truth. #
• This, this indeed is to be accursed,
  For if we mortals love, or if we sing, #
• We count our joys not by what we have,
  But by what kept us from that perfect thing. #
• My twentieth selection for National Poetry Month is Life's Tragedy by Paul Laurence Dunbar. #

• I've known rivers:
  I've known rivers as ancient as the world and older than the

• All that is gold does not glitter,
  Not all those who wander are lost;
  The old that is strong does not wither, #
• Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
  From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
  A light from the shadows shall spring; #
• Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
  The crownless again shall be king. #

• the flesh covers the bone
  and they put a mind
  in there and

• and the women break
  vases against the walls
  and the men drink too
  much #
• and nobody finds the
  one
  but keep
  looking
  crawling in and out
  of beds. #
• flesh covers
  the bone and the
  flesh searches
  for more than
  flesh. #
• there's no chance
  at all:
  we are all trapped
  by a singular
  fate. #
