Quatrains

[Koveshnikov]

lead lead me star
from nowhere to nowhere
in a circle or in a straight line
I'll go home anyway

 

[Koveshnikov]

and the heavens opened
and miracles fell
and I whispered to you let's go
and we wandered in the rain

 

[Koveshnikov]

you are silent you are strict
but that's what I care about
you'll unclenchyour fangs
one touch

 

[Koveshnikov]

among the bustle of life
let's weave our tails
how many years ago
hello hello slow garden

 

[Koveshnikov]

it's a good thing I'm a guest here
that there was only a handful of time left
brother cat isn't it this winter
will you take me home

“He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there’s some mistake.
The only other sound’s the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.”

Robert Frost

BY MOTHER GOOSE
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall;
All the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put Humpty together again.

Someone painted pictures
On my windowpane last night
Willow trees with trailing boughs
And flowers frosted white

 

[Boris Diamond]

Shakespeare, Sonnet 130

My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun;
Coral is far more red than her lips' red;
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.

To My Cat: A Love Poem

I love your precious little nose
The way you lick between your toes
I love each little noise you make
And play with toys until they break

K Koveshnikov Thank you, but I didn't write it. I saw it on line.

 

[debbila]

A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;

A tree that may in summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;

Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.

Joyce Kilmer

debbila
it's wonderful

 

[Jemima Lucca]

I’m not sure what a quatrain is but I love this:
All things Bright and beautiful
All creatures great and small
All things wise and wonderful
The Lord God made them all

Each little flower that opens
Each little bird that sings
He made their glowing colors
He made their tiny wings

 

[debbila]

Thank you for the world so sweet
Thank you for the food we eat
Thank you for the birds that sing
Thank you God for everything.
