28. April 2005, 23:49:51  Useless Bravery
J. M. Vargas When He is alone, He has enough bravery To equal an army's. But when He is with Her, All the bravery yields to cowardice. He hides his true feelings Behind facade hidden behind facade, When He is with Her. Why hide your true feelings? He does not know the answer. Why the facades? This He knows: To hide an easily scarred And punctured heart. He thinks his feelings Are his weaknes: His Achilles Heel. How unfortunate, He doesn't understand. His feelings can be his strength. When She leaves Him, A part of Him is torn apart. Yet He does nothing To ease his pain. And in the end, When Hs is alone, All his bravery is useless. 19. April 2005, 14:26:19 Subject: For The Lady In Purple Poems Of William Blake
By William Blake Tiger, The Tiger, tiger, burning bright In the forests of the night, What immortal hand or eye Could frame thy fearful symmetry? In what distant deeps or skies Burnt the fire of thine eyes? On what wings dare he aspire? What the hand dare seize the fire? And what shoulder and what art Could twist the sinews of thy heart? And, when thy heart began to beat, What dread hand and what dread feet? What the hammer? What the chain? In what furnace was thy brain? What the anvil? What dread grasp Dare its deadly terrors clasp? When the stars threw down their spears, And water`d heaven with their tears, Did He smile His work to see? Did He who made the lamb make thee? Tiger, tiger, burning bright, In the forests of the night, What immortal hand or eye Dare frame thy fearful symmetry? In the sincere hope that Blake does not leap out of his grave and sue Brainking 18. April 2005, 01:09:09 Subject: Re: Another by Blake Radiant Aunt: LOL. This is how Al Capone got started.  18. April 2005, 00:58:45 Subject: Re: For Lady In Purple alanback: Of course. Most people learned it in high school Freshman English. The Vampire by Kipling is a little less well known but also an awesome poem. 30. March 2005, 22:06:43 Subject: Re: Aragon: Would it be less trouble to ban the very small group of abusive pawns..most of who have been banned before on other boards..rather than burden both the good pawns and the mods with pre-screening the posts? I really don't like censorship but when you take a quiet board like this one and suddenly you get a rash of posters pushing the envelope you can just bet it isn't out of any newly acquired love of poetry. It's love of trouble. 30. March 2005, 14:25:10 Subject: Re: Re: Aragon: We agree on something at least. Hunting is vile in my estimation. I just used an old school popular expression from south of the Mason-Dixon line. LOL. 29. March 2005, 23:51:20 Subject: Re: Re: Aragon: So now you are the one lecturing, threatening and censoring in place of Usurper because of your superior taste, intelligence and judgement? Uhhhh..that dog won't hunt. 27. March 2005, 15:30:53 Subject: Re: Re: Modified by Purple (27. March 2005, 15:32:27) bumble: But you will admit my "Lady and the Tiger" poem stands as a beacon providing a standard against which all other poems must be measured? :) 26. March 2005, 23:04:47 There was a young lady of Riga
Who smiled as she rode on a tiger; They returned from the ride With the lady inside, And the smile on the face of the tiger. 13.
