Sinister: The Poetry Parrot's Pick

[oon]

finally i've found this.  not from real library, i woke up 
too late.  didn't know there's so many poetry websites, but i have 
much fun reading them that it's hard to choose just one.  

Sometimes The Sky's Too Bright  
Dylan Thomas.

Sometimes the sky's too bright,
Or has too many clouds or birds,
And far away's too sharp a sun
To nourish thinking of him.
Why is my hand too blunt
To cut in front of me
My horrid images for me,
Of over-fruitful smiles,
The weightless touching of the lip
I wish to know
I cannot lift, but can,
The creature with the angel's face
Who tells me hurt,
And sees my body go
Down into misery?
No stopping. Put the smile
Where tears have come to dry.
The angel's hurt is left;
His telling burns.

Sometimes a woman's heart has salt,
Or too much blood;
I tear her breast,
And see the blood is mine,
Flowing from her, but mine,
And then I think
Perhaps the sky's too bright;
And watch my hand,
But do not follow it,
And feel the pain it gives,
But do not ache.

sad.  maybe not very appropriate for Monday, which is
a rather sad day in itself.  

so, here's a lovely little haiku (i suppose) for 
all you lovely people out there.

"As Soft"
     As soft as a pillow
     As rosy as an apple's flower
     As sweet as a strawberry
     Is my sister after she took
     ...........a shower.

                 - Inessa Suknovalnik, 1992

i was going to pick this one but it's so short.  so now you have
two poems :)

love,
