How about this for a collaborative effort: If the whole world I once could see All people of every land standing together free No man enslaved, no woman oppressed All children fed and warmly dressed Then to this moment might I say Linger awhile, so as this memory never fade away. The last line is st...

If the whole world I once could see All people of every land standing together free Then to the moment might I say Linger awhile, and let this memory never fade away. Once you put the seed in my head Cattleman, I had to have a crack at it, didn't I. I think the last line is the weakest now. You coul...

Posting something like that on FB would be a massive red flag for me, I would steer well clear if I was only an acquaintance, possibly Bi-polar. If it was a close friend or relative we'd be having words about a post like that though. As far as men like Trump go, that's you're classic bully; all fron...

As I've stated in a previous post, I got my love of poetry from the movie Genius. I also have a love of music, so the other day after watching the movie Star Girl featuring Grace Vanderwaal. I looked her up and downloaded some music. Her bio was promising, a child prodigy with an angelic voice and a...

Out of all those Kiplings If is my favorite too, I also like Cells: pack-drill for me and a fortnight's C.B. For "drunk and resisting the Guard."

It's not bad as it is, but using the word free twice in the same sentence; obviously a compromise. If it was mine and I wanted to improve it, I would run that line through my head every night, and eventually it will come. There's nothing like that feeling when you wake up, and the words just pop int...

I like it, the second line could use some work. I've read all Goethe's poems, a few of them are great favorites of mine. But Goethe's Faust is a bit dreary and long for my liking, but if this is the sentiment you got from it, then maybe I should give it another look.
