Poem on a Flower
My flower was laden with dew,
So pink, so moist, and open;
Like lips that are parted in two,
Her center, her tongue, was golden.
And crossed by green blades of grass,
Formed in a triumphal arch;
Through which some great man could pass,
Or some great army march.
My flower was laden with dew,
So pink, so moist, and open;
Like lips that are parted in two,
Her center, her tongue, was golden.
And crossed by green blades of grass,
Formed in a triumphal arch;
Through which some great man could pass,
Or some great army march.

I think it was a day just like today that Ishmael thought to himself “whenever I find myself growing grim around the mouth, whenever it is a damp, drizzly November in my soul?”

Just like the Wizard of Oz, Trump frightened people into voting for and believing in him, but now the curtain is being drawn, exposing him as an empty bag of wind who hates anyone that’s not him. Going to be so rewarding to see him unravel

I think I could turn and live with animals, they are so placid and self-contain’d, I stand and look at them long and long.
They do not sweat and whine about their condition, They do not lie awake in the dark and weep for their sins, They do not make me sick discussing their duty to God…

they just passed the bill that’s going to take 9 billion dollars from public broadcasting and foreign aid—- can anyone explain how this helps anyone? They take things away from those who need it and give them to those who don’t, as I saw somewhere- it’s Robin Hood in reverse
