One in particular is:<br /> Where The Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein<br /><br />There is a place where the sidewalk ends<br />And before the street begins,<br />And there the grass grows soft and white,<br />And there the sun burns crimson bright,<br />And there the moon-bird rests from his flight<br />To cool in the peppermint wind.<br /><br />Let us leave this place where the smoke blows black<br />And the dark street winds and bends.<br />Past the pits where the asphalt flowers grow<br />We shall walk with a walk that is measured and slow,<br />And watch where the chalk-white arrows go<br />To the place where the sidewalk ends.<br /><br />Yes we'll walk with a walk that is measured and slow,<br />And we'll go where the chalk-white arrows go,<br />For the children, they mark, and the children, they know<br />The place where the sidewalk ends.<br /><br /><br />One of the very first Poems I ever read. I fell in Love with poetry and writing when I realized I could express myself freely.sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16818811502690525329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5319455141108616381.post-45601687996657361802011-07-22T09:31:59.586-07:002011-07-22T09:31:59.586-07:00I love this poem.

Let's try this again...<br /><br />I have so many favorite poems, but I have a special spot in my heart for those by William Carlos Williams. He creates full, almost novel-worthy stories with such few (yet so rich!) words. <br />These 2 in particular -<br /><br />"The Red Wheelbarrow"<br /><br />so much depends<br />upon<br />a red wheel<br />barrow<br /><br />glazed with rain<br />water<br /><br />beside the white<br />chickens.<br /><br />****<br /><br />"This Is Just To Say"<br /><br />I have eaten<br />the plums<br />that were in<br />the icebox<br /><br />and which<br />you were probably<br />saving<br />for breakfast<br /><br />Forgive me<br />they were delicious<br />so sweet<br />and so coldA.

Last year I took part in a recording of poems to celebrate American female poets and I was given some Sylvia Plath to read (In my broad Scots accent!) Heartbreaking, sad, painful, angry...what does it say about me that her poems speak to me?! Haha. "Mad Girls Love Song" by Sylvia and "Phenomenal Woman" by Maya Angelou...at the moment they are my favourites. I've only dipped my toe into the world of poetry though and I'm sure i'll discover many more delightful gems out there.<br />If you fancy listening to some poetry with the abrasive scottish accent then you should check out http://brucedownie.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html :)<br />P.S I just discoverd your blog the other day and it's beautiful.
