“An emerald is as green as grass,
A ruby red as blood;
A sapphire shines as blue as heaven;
A flint lies in the mud.
A diamond is a brilliant stone,
To catch the world‘s desire;
An opal holds a fiery spark;
But a flint holds fire.”
Flint ― Christina Rossetti

Did you know #IntheBleakMidwinter was originally a poem by Christina Rosetti, titled "A Christmas Carol"?

My favourite version of this carol is from the AMAZING Gospel Christmas Project, solo by Chris Lowe. I couldn't find an audio of just Bleak Midwinter, but here's a stream of the entire concert:

I have the CD, and it is one of the most joyful experiences! (And I'm not religious)

Eggs Yes I did know that ❣️ We sang it in HS choir and I‘ve loved it 4ever 3y
TheKidUpstairs @Eggs it's such a beautiful song 3y
Eggs It is sung in a beautiful emotional scene in the 1st season of The Crown 👑 from 1940s when King George (QE2‘s father) is ill @TheKidUpstairs (edited) 3y

#poetrymatters Aug 18: gothic

Goblin Market, with 28 stanzas of varying lengths, is full of gothic images & symbols. The consistent rhyme scheme of the poem makes it feel light-hearted, but there are some very dark moments.

Full poem: https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/44996/goblin-market

Rossetti, a 19th century poet, is most famed for Goblin Market & Remember & also for penning the lyrics to the Christmas carol: “In the Bleak Midwinter”.

TheSpineView Great choice! 👍😍🌞 4y

Graywacke Where do you find all these? Random, or do have some resource of only-magnificent-selected-poems 4y
Lcsmcat @Graywacke The website poetryfoundation.org is my main online resource. But I also have several anthologies that I read from. (edited) 4y

Graywacke @Lcsmcat I‘m impressed. 👍 4y
Lcsmcat @Graywacke My mother had an English teacher who gave them an assignment to create a scrapbook of poetry, the only requirement for which was that they must love each poem they selected. She kept it and we used to pull it out and read them together. And I have a brother-in-law and a good friend who are published poets. It‘s just always been around. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 4y
Graywacke @Lcsmcat what a great idea - the scrapbook. That‘s cool - your mother, bil, and friend and the rest. And special. I once had a neighbor who became Texas state poet laureate one year - he was my inspiration to get in touch poetry. He meant a lot to me, although we have now mostly lost contact. I have hundreds of his books he cast off when downsizing. 4y
Lcsmcat @Graywacke Cool! Is your friend published? You should share his work on here. 4y
Graywacke @Lcsmcat yes. He has several books and a now dated selected work (tagged) 4y
Lcsmcat @Graywacke I‘ll have to look for his work. 4y
Graywacke @Lcsmcat hmm. I‘ll have to send you some suggestions. Fascinating guy. Maybe try 4y
Lcsmcat @Graywacke Thanks! I‘ll look for them. (edited) 4y
Graywacke His earlier stuff was years in the writing, decades actually, waiting till he thought he had enough prime stuff. There is a texan-southwest trend. Later he was more free flowing, I think. (The two I tagged are a little later). 4y

“Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay...”

‘Remember‘, written by Christina Rossetti (1830-1894) when she was still a teenager...a classic poem about mourning and remembrance.

In school, I had to write about Rossetti's poetry for a class project. Before Rossetti, I had no interest in poetry. I read Poe, but his poetry is dark & has an edge. I fell in love with her poetry, so much so that I begged my parents to buy me a few different editions. Happiness, love, humor but also sadness and grief sprinkle her poems. I'm still not a huge poetry reader, but I have a much better appreciation thanks to Rossetti. #35bookparty
