Japanese Jokes - Peter Porter
In his winged collar
he flew. The nation wanted peace. Our Perseus!
William Blake, William
Blake, William Blake, William Blake, say it and feel new!
Love without sex is
still the most efficient form of hell known to man.
A professional
is one who believes he has invented breathing.
The Creation had
to find room for the exper- imental novel.
When daffodils be-
gin to peer: watch out, para- noia's round the bend.
I get out of bed
and say goodbye to people I won't meet again.
I sit and worry
about money who very soon will have to die.
I consider it
my duty to be old hat so you can hate me.
I am getting fat
and unattractive but so much nicer to know.
Somewhere at the heart
of the universe sounds the true mystic note: Me.

Dust - Carl Sandburg
Here is dust remembers it was a rose one time and lay in a woman's hair. Here is dust remembers it was a woman one time and in her hair lay a rose. Oh things one time dust, what else now is it you dream and remember of old days?

Trees - Joyce Kilmer
I think that I shall never see A poem lovely as a tree. A tree whose hungry mouth is prest Against the earth's sweet flowing breast; 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. Poems are made by fools like me, But only God can make a tree.
