Sometimes the Poets.org #poemoftheday wallops you in the stomach. 🌿
The head vs the heart. #poemoftheday (Poem is actually by Walter de la Mare, not Gertrude Stein.)
Do you believe in fate?
#Poemoftheday Eros Turannos (Love, the Tyrant) by E.A. Robinson. I highly recommend Googling and reading the whole thing.
pick"At ninety-six I had lived enough, that is all, & passed to a sweet repose."
This book tells the stories of all the inhabitants of Spoon River; murderers, judges, politicians, parents, poor, wealthy, miserable and joyous. It's all in here, told through poetic epitaphs on gravestones. #poemoftheday
"The best lack all conviction, while the worst are full of passionate intensity."
Another Yeats today because he's only one of the most brilliant, evocative poets of the modern age. He speaks to my hidden frustrations, & inspires me to never give up on the good I know is out there. #poemoftheday
"And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow."
I love this poem by Yeats. If I am ever able to afford a little property away from the bustle of everyday life I'm going to name it INNISFREE. #poemoftheday
"Smart lad, to slip betimes away/ From fields where glory does not stay." A.E. Houseman
Such a sad #poemoftheday
