Corny Poems..

Yes, I will admit due to having men that never expressed themselves to me. My degree of romantic poems is as simple as this:

Roses are red, violets are blue

Sugar is sweet and so are you!

I think I should have woken up after hearing it too many times when no effort went past that poem. There were times that I even heard as this with the romantics I have dated as such:

Roses are red, violets are blue

I love chocolate more than you!

Reflection

As I am sad which is more often of the late, I look to find anything that can reflect of how I feel.  When I look for reading to reflect on I ask my friends for help. The latest poem I received was by Ms. Dorothy Parker - For A Sad Lady.

I hope that my life will be reflected not as a sad woman I feel today but I should hope to move forward be able to be a happy lady once again. Those who are forgotten alive, will be ashes that fly away when gone.

For A Sad Lady by Dorothy Parker

And let her loves, when she is dead,

Write this above her bones:

"No more she lives to give us bread

Who asked her only stones."

Nursery Rhymes....

As there are those who are avid readers and those who enjoy reading a good book to relax I am either. I regret that I don't have a good knowledge of books especially the classics partially due to high school but I allowed myself to wallow in pity of not being intelligent.

As I finish my rant, the first poem that I read if nursery are considered is Hickory Dickory Dock it was very fun to say and good way to learn how to tell time. The verse was repetitive and easy to learn just needed to change the time.  

It is just a very fun poem to read and best to star with isn't that what Mother Goose wanted us to do make fun learning.
