I like the following poems for their simplicity and their err cuteness ^__^
It's a technicolor world out there, boys and girls.
A POEM
Nichita Stanescu
Tell me, if I caught you one day
and kissed the sole of your foot,
wouldn't you limp a little then,
afraid to crush my kiss?
MY LOVER ASKS ME
Nizar Qabbani
My lover asks me:
"What is the difference between me and the sky?"
The difference, my love,
Is that when you laugh,
I forget about the sky.
MARCIA
Richard Brautigan
Gee, You’re So Beautiful
That It’s Starting to Rain
Oh, Marcia,
I want your long blonde beauty
to be taught in high school,
so kids will learn that God
lives like music in the skin
and sounds like a sunshine harpsichord.
I want high school report cards
to look like this:
Play with Gentle Glass Things
A
Computer Magic
A
Writing Letter to Those You Love
A
Finding out about Fish
A
Marcia’s Long Blonde Beauty
A+!
THE SUN NEVER SAYS
Hafiz
Even
After
All this time
The sun never says to the earth,
"You owe Me."
Look
What happens
With a love like that,
It lights the
Whole
Sky.
