'What did i see" (a very old poem i wrote after princess diana died)
who did i see out the corner of my eye
was it the ghost of our beloved princess di
with short golden hair
and sparkling blue eyes
and soft perfect skin
and a voice that changed lives.
her white silky gown that lit up the dark
and guided the way to heavans afar
her halo she bared she wore it so proud
and wings of white feathers much softer than clouds
so who did i see that passed by my eye
was it ghost of our beloved princess di
I know this is your poetry thread abacus and the above two are lovely..but can we contribute our favourite poems etc here? would be nice to have a poetry thread and yours are a great way to kick it off!
My favourite poem is lovely but won't impinge on your thread if you'd prefer me not to
Oh but seems the didn't paste properly..hmm OK try again later
They are called Limbo by Seamus Heaney and Valediction for Forbidding Mourning by John Donne if you wish to google them
Mmm you are dreamy :D
Haha cuz I like a couple of poems? :p the John Donne one is actually VERY romantic, its about him being seperated from his lover.
But the Seamus Heaney one is about a mother drowning her illegitimate baby and its very sad. Oh which reminds me:
2pac - Under the Skies Above
My child is out there somewhere under the skies above waiting anxiously 4 u and me 2 bless it with our love A part of me a part of u and a part of this love we share will protect my unborn child who lives dormant out there somewhere Sometimes in my dreams I imagine what it would be like How could I properly guide him when even I don't know what's right Whether he is born in wealth or poverty there will be no dificiency in love I welcome this gift of life
given from GOD under the skies above
I almost cried reading that the first time (for a good reason - at the start of my sons pregnancy we thought we'd lost him and I was absolutely devastated)
