Reading, listening and writing

SONGS AND POEMS

Why read, and sometimes even write poetry? That question is notdifficult to answer if we change the word poetry to songs.

…I sing when I feel good…

…They are like bright and warm colors in the middle of greys…

… I also like reading…

… I started with small poems…

Darkling I listen; and, for many a time

I have been half in love with easeful Death,

Call’d him soft names in many a mused rhyme,

To take into the air my quiet breath;

Now more than ever seems it rich to die,

To cease upon the midnight with no pain,

While thou art pouring forth thy soul abroad

In such an ecstasy!

A Poem by Keats

The same whom in my school-boy days

I listened to; that Cry

Which made me look a thousand ways

In bush, and tree, and sky.

To seek thee did I often rove

Through woods and on the green;

And thou wert still a hope, a love;

Still longed for, never seen.

A Poem by Wordsworth

The way a crow

Shook down on me

The dust of snow

From a hemlock tree

Has given my heart

A change of mood

And saved some part

Of a day I had rued

Oceans apart, day after day / And I slowly go insane

But it doesn’t stop the pain

If I see you next to never / How can I say forever?

Wherever you go, whatever you do

I will be right here waiting for you.

Whatever it takes, or how my heart breaks

I will be right here waiting for you.
