CCRRMM Poet Laureates Thread
Royal Ones, we shall share poetry, inspiring stories, pithy quotes and mayhap a joke or two on this thread.
I, Viscountess Cerise, have spoken. **the Viscountess has nothing to share currently but is certain that a peek at her books this evening will lend itself to finding something worth sharing** ***the Viscountess has changed her mind. She wishes to post a quote which has changed her life in a small way and which seemed to resonate with at least two other Peeresses of the Realm*** "Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a great battle." ~Philo of Alexandria |
Sorry if I stole your thunder, Amarantha. Just wanted to affirm your idea by getting it going, ya know?

Vicountess, I'm delighted to see thou hath put this thread up here in the Palace Library (I think we're in the library, n'est pas?) and hath brought the gavel down on the first meeting of the :queen: ly Poet L Society!!!! I would like to share one of my favorite poems with the group, though it be a very familiar one to thee all, methinks. May I ask what the favorite poems are of all the Society members? (Just think, if we are typing poetry in, we are NOT eating peanut butter cups, now there's a concept!!!!!)!!!!
The Road Not Taken TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that, the passing there Had worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I marked the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I, I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. ~ Robert Frost Yes, it has. ~ Amarantha |
Oh, we have made SUCH a good beginning! Empress, thank you for getting us started with the incomparable Seņor Frost!

You are welcome, Poet Leader Cerise!!! Om shanti! Sign me up for the next Society meeting and at that time I'll return with a greeting! (That's a POEM!!!) :wave:

Yowza! Here's how I felt today contemplating the Vernal Exercise Challenge Faire (sorry, it's Robert again):
The Silken Tent She is as in a field a silken tent At midday, when a sunny summer breeze Has dried the dew, and all its ropes relent So that in guys it gently sways at ease And its supporting central cedar pole That is its pinnacle to heavenward And signifies the sureness of the soul Seems to owe naught to any single cord But, strictly held by none, is loosely bound By countless silken ties of love and thought To everything on earth the compass 'round And only by one going slightly taut In the capriciousness of summer air Is of the slightest bondage made aware. ~ Robert Frost Up, up and away, no burdens allowed today! ~ Amarantha :balloons: |
