Poetry/prose sharing

Deleted user
over 1 year ago

This is a thread that has come out of a discussion between myself and Steven.

We have had 2 other shared threads that have come about in this way: Paranormal and Creative.

Please share your poetry, either something you have written, or one that you like/has meaning to you.

Prose is welcome too.

Here's my contribution from Yeats for starters:

He wishes for the Cloths of Heaven: Yeats

Had I the heavens’ embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

    As death is being discussed in another thread, I thought of this song by Leonard Cohen, Who by Fire:

    And who by fire, who by water
    Who in the sunshine, who in the night time
    Who by high ordeal, who by common trial
    Who in your merry merry month of may
    Who by very slow decay
    And who shall I say is calling?
    And who in her lonely slip, who by barbiturate
    Who in these realms of love, who by something blunt
    Who by avalanche, who by powder
    Who for his greed, who for his hunger
    And who shall I say is calling?
    And who by brave assent, who by accident
    Who in solitude, who in this mirror
    Who by his lady's command, who by his own hand
    Who in mortal chains, who in power
    And who shall I say is calling?
