The Noon Hour At first I thought this simple book This book of poetry Was but a bit of heaven Saved for the likes of me Found it ’neath some dust and dirt Found it in a store, But what I found is worth far more And fills my inner core… A book of simple poetry Something to fill my noon As I harvested through the words I found a lovely boon; For each poem and its poet Have a note towards the end And now the words and meanings there Are muses out on lend… Burns' Farewell and Wordsworth’s Nature Have poets, who, for me, Left behind a bit more knowledge In this book of poetry; And here, impressions, and their thoughts Are held in blackest print Archaic words and bits of lore Were left in lovely tint… So this noon, this very noon, I sat upon my chair And felt the words, and felt the words, of poetry so rare. ~*~ Academy Classics, Golden Treasury, Palgrave, Copyright 1926, by Allyn & Bacon |

So this noon, this very noon, I sat upon my chair And felt the words, and felt the words, of poetry so rare. Karilea - this is exactly my thoughts about your poetry! Rare & beautiful indeed. hugs to you, Chris |

Karilea, I love this. Last year, during my lunch break at school, I would go to the library and read the great poets. I finally decorated some parts of my classroom with many interesting quotes relating to education and some funny ones regarding PCs. I am looking for a couple of poetry posters. I want to see how this year goes. Maybe next year, I can start a poetry club. Wouldn't that be wonderful! Oh, how I love words! Sorry, I am rambling! Thanks for the repost...loved it! Patricia |
